In case you have received your admission letter from the university, let us first congratulate you and wish you a great future in the MAZUMS family. At your present stage, there are few steps you need to take. Carefully read the information below and follow all the required steps.
Visa Application
First and foremost, you must see your Visa application. To start the Visa process, carefully fill out the Student Visa Form , you received along with your letter of acceptance and email the completed form back to us.
You must determine the city where you would like to pick up your Visa. To do so, you are advised to choose the closest city to your current hometown which houses an Iranian embassy/consulate. This should be a city to which you can easily travel. In case you choose a city where there is no Iranian embassy or consulate, your visa will be sent to a city with an Iranian embassy or a consulate in closest proximity to your hometown.
Generally, entry visas will be ready in 6 to 8 weeks but in some cases, it may take longer time. We will inform you when it is ready so that you can go the embassy/consulate in your city and get it.
Important Notes:
- One important point to bear in mind is that you must make sure that your passport is not expired. Your visa will be issued using your passport, so avoid unwanted problems by a current passport.
- When your visa number is issued, it will be announced to you in a Registration Permission Message. Please remember that only if you receive this Message, you will be able to join us for your accepted program.
- Please make the necessary arrangements for your program so that as soon as you receive MAZUMS email regarding your visa number, you can join the program on time.
