What you need to know before visiting Iran
Q: I am planning to travel to Iran for a visit, and a friend of mine who is Iranian will host me. He will be arranging my visa as I am from Latvia, and I have to send him a copy of my passport. He will follow up with the MFA to get me a reference number. I just want to know if this is the normal procedure. In addition, I`ve heard many things about Iran.
