Visa Types
The visa has several types that are issued on the basis of the stated purpose by you and the presentation of proofs. Common visas are tourist, student, business, research, etc. We strongly recommend that from now on, a visa must be issued by the traveler for the desired activity (commercial, tourist, student or any other type). Otherwise, the passenger may have problems during the trip.
Visa and its types
A visa can be issued in the form of a single visa, in this case you will only be allowed one entry into that country. Your visa may also be multiple so that you will be able to enter and leave multiple times in the country that issued the visa during the validity period of the visa.So if you need to go to your country of destination, because you do not have to get a visa for the next trip, try to obtain a visa with a longer validity period and a multiple.
The important point to note is that the law of impossibility to extend visas for tourist visas and visas valid for less than 6 months is valid, but in certain cases, such as medical problems, this is done.
Keep your visa safe: Keep in mind that in a foreign country, the passport is your identity card, as well as having a visa as your legal entry into the territory of that country, which is why you must keep it up to date.
Documents for obtaining a visa for Iran: Copy the guest passport + Original identity card and host card + Fill out the Ministry of Foreign Affairs form for the guest’s guest + Write a request for a guest invitation.
Visa requirements for traveling to foreign countries are 2; or the country applies for visas from Iranian nationals, or nationals of both countries are exempted from obtaining visas on the basis of contractual agreements. So the first step for foreign travel is to determine if the country you are seeking a visa is or no.
Typically, a visa at the entry points of each country indicates what your travel destination is, how long you stay in that country, and what is the last deadline for entering the country you are seeking.
