Iranianvisa.com: Legit or Scam?
Save

i applied online for an VOA e-visa code in iranianvisa.com. then realized that i preferred to do the regular visa instead and secure the visa in the Iranian embassy before leaving, much safer. funny enough, i received below email from Iranianvisa.com that reads:

To Me, this really sounds like a scam, a blackmail. and i will not use them again irregardless if i can or can NOT go to Iran. i will not be scammed by this agency

"Hi,

We have not received the service fee ,yet.

Please notice that the applications are registered automatically upon receipt of the applications on our system. According to our website’s terms of service which you have accepted by submitting your application on our website, you need to pay the service fee for the application you submitted and cancellation is not an option.

Having an open unpaid visa application affects your consular files. Please arrange the payment for the service fee urgently. We need to report the matter to the related authorities in not receiving the service fee just now and the time is too short, so you will be solely responsible for the corresponding consequences.

Hope you can understand carefully.

Sincerely,

Iranvisa"

Hey, don't worry about it. They're just trying to intimidate you and get money off you.

I had a similar situation, I ignored them, I had an email from the woman that worked there as well. Don't let them push you around, they have a terrible reputation.

I also had great difficulties with this company.

Wish I had googled them before using their 'services' - they should be avoided !

I was trying to use the service of them one year ago when planning my trip to Iran (which I only managed this year). Indeed they were quite pushy to get the money, the service fee was at the end of the day topped up by inter mediating charges to collect the money. They were even trying to blackmail by saying that my application is already processed by the Iranian MoFA and if I don't take the offer they'll ban me from entering Iran forever :-).

Don't bother and take another agency. This year I was using TriptoPersia.com and I obtained my codes smoothly within few days.

Unprofessional company and only out for making a lot of money. I had a very great emergency to get to Iran because someone of family was dying. They used this fact to make even more money.

I paid on time but still did not get my visa!!!!

Now I am praying to god that I will get back my money....

Anyone going to Iran less than 30days can just go without Visum.

At the airport you will get your Visum you have to pay there directly and it is safe and simple.... don't use this company anymore called

http://Iranianvisa.com

It is NOT at all professional also I tried sooo much to call them. On Iranian number during working hours as specified on contact page. Also on UK number NO ONE answered. I tried two days in a row during different times.
