The Iranian Consulate in Trabzon has shut-down its Visa department till Sept. 28 for 'administrative reasons'.
This may mean that on Monday they will issue another notice extending the date even further or, the 'rules' of getting a visa will change and become as difficult as in other places.
While this is going on ... what about getting Iranian visa in other places like Georgia or Armenia...
Does any one has any experience in this?
Please let us know...

Well friends,
the consulate opened its doors this morning at about 9am took about 15 people in till 10am and then announced to the rest of the people waiting in the rain to come back tomorrow...
That's the story.
I guess people will try to get there early tomorrow so they can be first in line... ??? !!!
At least the guy who came out for the announcement encouraged us all that 'no problem! you will get your visa tomorrow', meaning the same day...
So, apparently, the 'process' has not changed as i had thought.
If i get the visa tomorrow i will let you know.
Good-night/-day...

Hello cyclist-friends!
The latest news:
A bunch of us were let in the consulate this morning, passports checked, applications were filled, we went to the designated bank to pay the 75 euro fee and ... we were told to go tomorrow at 16:30 to pick up our passports (with the visa hopefully in!)
So, the same day visa has become 'next day visa'... no explanations were given and no questions were asked. It will be not so bad if we finally get it tomorrow!
Have a good 'time' wherever you all are!

Hello cyclist-friends.
We did get our visa the next day as they had told us.
So all seems to be working again 'normal'...
Good pedaling to all of you...
