Really a VISA for a us citizen to go to Iran?

Should mention more specifically that this is for Isfahan, Iran. IFN is not a common code, and many people may not want to go to Iran. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isfahan...tional_Airport

I'll pass on that milage run.

Nice... Isfahan is a gorgeous city and great food. Too bad my visa just expired last week.. was in Iran in September.

I would love to go; how hard / easy is it to get a visa and how long does it take?

I've wanted to go for some time but Iranian acquaintances have said that one needs a letter of recommendation from a Iranian national to get the visa?

I'd encourage anyone contemplating this to read the State Department Travel Advisory. US citizens have rather onerous visa requirements.

Perhaps also worth reviewing the current OFAC sanctions list to make sure you don't run afoul of the US government in the process:

Any reason why would many people not want to go to Iran?

After just seeing the movie ARGO few minutes ago, I will pass on this one :)
I'd rather stay safe and misjudged as stupid and culturally challenged.

A great fare for the Iranian nationals living in US who want to get a cheap flight home...

If I could easily get an independent travel visa (unheard of for Americans lately), I'd be all over this.

I'd also like to hear from any US citizens who have experience getting an Iranian tourism visa.

Folks if we could leave the larger political discussions for another forum and focus on the fare it would benefit all readers.

Thanks.

I second his request. TIA.

I met one US citizen in Iran, actually in Yazd, he told me, it took like 3 years to get the visa.
