Embassy Report: Iran visa from London

[xxbellens]

Consulate is open for visas from 2pm until 5pm - If you turn up before this time, they will ask you to come back. You will get a number and then get sent downstairs. Once downstairs, you will get called up when it is your turn. This can be a lengthy process. However, as soon as you have been called up it tends to become very efficient.
My experience: £250 same day visa - queued from 12-4pm, went back to collect at 5pm.

Wondering if you had any information regarding time and fee for regular service (i.e. non expedited)?

We are in process of figuring out which embassy to designate for our Iran Visas. Iran Traveling Center told us that London Embassy was slow (obviously they weren't aware of same day service) and they have recommended Trabzon Consulate and Embassies in Georgia and Armenia. We are looking for info regarding any Iranian Embassies between London and Iran.

Thanks,
Francis

Hiya,
Yes as far as I'm aware, it takes a couple (5 I think)of days for non standard and the price is around £160. You can also get it sent back to your house for the same price (around £160) if you take a prepaid special delivery post envelope.
Many thanks,
xxbellens

Hi all, I am going to the London embassy tomorrow to sort out my visa. I have the grant notice at hand but having trouble with the application form. It asks for the names of individuals we plan to meet in Iran. Any idea what to write here?

We also need to write the name and address of two friends or relatives in Iran.. again, any idea?
