Talk:Visa policy of Iran

THIS WHOLE ARTICLE IS WRONG

This whole article is very wrong. DO NOT PLACE ANY TRUST ON IT.

Moroccans need a prearranged visa to enter Iran, but here it is stated that they get a visa on arrival, for example.

Irrespective of your nationality, any UK/US place of birth in your passport will mean you can only enter Iran os part of an organised tour. I have compared the information here with the Iranian embassy in Georgia and Armenia and I can tell you that what is written here is very wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdfjksge333 (talk • contribs) 04:05, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Citizens of Morocco residing in Iran must apply for a visa to Iran in person at the nearest consulate of Iran in Iran. Please note, application procedures and fees may vary by location. If there is noconsulate of Iran in Iran there may be a consulate of Iran in a neighboring country that covers the jurisdiction of Morocco.!" - https://iran.visahq.com/requirements/Morocco/resident-Iran/ is one example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.92.233.150 (talk) 05:58, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple issues

According to user Babakesma Iran adopted a new visa policy in April 2014 for which he provided a link. The link is in Persian and the content is not to be found anywhere else online, while other sources give different information. There is nothing on the link to suggest it refers to April 2014. The link contains information that the visa on arrival applies to citizens of Yugoslavia, a country that ceased to exist in 1992. It fails to list Czech Republic but apparently lists Slovakia twice. It says nothing about the countries that have visa-free, not visa on arrival access to Iran - Turkey, Syria, Azerbaijan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Venezuela and Bolivia. Several countries that were prevously not listed in visa on arrival now appear on this list. It is unclear if this list is actually visa on arrival or transit without a visa. The new map in the article suggests many countries that are not listed in that link to be visa on arrival eligible - Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Macedonia etc. So these are the multiple issues of this article that need to be solved together with content that has spelling mistakes and errors caused by using Google Translate. If anyone who speaks Persian can shed some light on the issue it would be appreciated.--Twofortnights (talk) 10:58, 18 April 2014 (UTC) ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Wrong information in Visa policy of Iran Wikipedia page. The visa exemption part is not accurate at all. Only seven nationalities can enter Iran without a visa including Turkey, Lebanon, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Bolivia, Egypt, and Syria. Based on this authorized Iranian press news. http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/07/27/422122/IRAN-VISA-WAIVER- Also about Visa on arrival, this wiki page is totally wrong again according to this http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/10/21/434394/Iran-gives-30day-visas-at-airports I think it is better to let others edit this page. The last link in the reference part references to a non-relevant website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CheeseBurger72 (talk • contribs) 08:47, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Israel and timatic

How reliable is timatic as a source? We seem to have taken it for granted that it is always what the airlines use and then we take it as a substitute for direct links to each country's policies. This is incompetent and unscholarly.

I was reading online about this and there are so many stories about how an Israeli stamp just doesn't matter. This makes me wonder how accurate timatic is about a whole host of policies. 173.35.22.135 (talk) 02:47, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
