 Visa Application

 

 

As a non-resident international student, you are obliged to get a visa
to enter Iran. Since visa application might be a complicated procedure
for you, SUMS assumes the responsibility to apply for the visa process
for all prospective international students, who have been granted
admission to SUMS. The consular affairs that international students
deal with are divided into two phases. The first phase covers the
period prior to your arrival in Iran and the next phase refers to the
time after your arrival.

 

Before Arrival

Upon receipt of your admission, you are requested to submit the
following items to SUMS via e-mail, so that your visa application
procedure can commence:

*	Passport size photo
*	A scanned copy of the information pages of your passport.
*	Completed visa application form

Visa process can take at least between 6-8 weeks to complete. Each
successful application is assigned a reference number/authorization
code by the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You will need the
reference number/authorization code along with your original passport
to collect your visa. Once we receive the reference number/
authorization code, we will forward it to you via email. Then, you
should schedule an appointment with the Iranian embassy or consulate in
your country that you have already determined on your application form.
Carry the obtained visa reference number/ authorization code together
with your passport to the relevant embassy or consulate to collect your
visa.

 



 

All international students are required to register at the Office of
Consular Affairs (see the location on the map and the address on pp.
17-18) upon their arrival in Shiraz. Students who seek help in consular
issues can consult the Office of Consular Affairs after making
necessary arrangements with the Office of the Vica-Chancellor for
Global Strategies and International Affairs (GSIA) at Shiraz University
of Medical Sciences.
