Iran
,no edit summary
You can't rely on it completely but if you're not American you can probably get a code through [http://iranianvisa.com/ iranianvisa.com] that you can use at Iranian embassies. People successfully managed to get Iranian visas in [[Istanbul]], [[Ankara]] and closest to the border, [[Erzurum]]. Some hitchhikers received their visa in [[Trabzon]] without the expensive code the same day they applied for it.
Hitchhiker [[User:Halt, Stop! Reudnitz kommt.|Craig]] ''entered Iran at the ''Yuksekova-Esendere'' border. People coming from Turkey don't get frustrated! It's amazing if you know that a hundred meters back on the Turkish side most people would understand 'autostop'. Other than the young and modern Iranian generally won't know what is hitching. Tell them you have no money. You can explain everything later in the car. '''Iran is the best country I have ever hitched.''' Even in the hottest desert on earth (you feel dying after 10 minutes) the first car stopped. Roads are in good condition. Some days I my average hitch-hiking speed topped 100 km/h!!!''
Hitchhiker [[User:Alex|alex]]: ''"Sadly, I had to fly into Iran. I did not manage to get a visa in [[Yemen]] or in the [[United Arab Emirates]] beforehand (I stayed 7 days in [[Muscat]] until the embassies opened again; they told me at the Embassy of Iran that they can only issue for residents in contrast to what I have been told before). Flying into Iran is an option for people from some privileged countries. Larger airports in Iran can issue a 14 days transit visa on the spot. However, I guess this is not an issue as most people here will travel the other direction and will only start their journey when they have this visa (since this is the only visa Germans can not get at the border)."''
