Question:
Hello,
Based on reading from many sources about Iran, I understand that most of the Iranian people are amazing and very friendly and do not have any hostility towards Americans. But what about the Iranian government? Do they make travel for us so difficult to make it all unenjoyable?
I have read that Americans need a ” tour guide” anywhere all the time during the trip and the itineraries must be approved beforehand.
I am just thinking about the considerable costs associated with travel to beautiful Iran.
Answer:
As an American passport holder, you have to take part in a guided tour. The rules say that all US, UK, and CA passport holders need to contact an Iran-based travel agent to get an Iran visa. So, as the first step let us discuss about your desired itinerary, and accordingly, we will apply for your visa.
Iran visa for Americans takes about 40 working days. Read more about the Iran visa for US citizens.
Let us tell you that Iran is quite a safe country and the Iranians are very friendly and hospitable. However, like anywhere else, with some common sense, you will be on the safe side. Keep away from unfamiliar places, especially at night. Be friendly to the hosts, and they will return the gesture. Don’t be scared or shocked if Iranians approach you, they want to communicate, it all comes from the hospitality behavior of these people. The biggest majority of Iranians that you will meet will be very hospitable and friendly. Read more about safety in Iran.
