關於特拉布宗。

這是目前就絲路路途上，最容易取得伊朗簽證的領事館所在城市。

因為不需要RN(Reference Number，中文：邀請函號)就可以辦理簽證，而且大多情況下，當天領件。

領事館地址：Taksim Caddesi Kiziltoprak Sokak No: 3

從Atatürk Alani Meydam Parki，過公園旁的高架橋，直走上坡，第一個路口左轉就會看到飄揚的伊朗旗幟。

注意！如果你拿過伊朗簽證，你就不可能在這裡用沒有RN的方式取得簽證。

這件事情已經前後被一位來自台灣的背包客-Kyle和我親自證實。

領事館沒辦法回答出真正原因，總之任何有拿過伊朗簽證的人，都不可能用沒有RN的方式辦理。

給任何要去伊朗而途中經過這裡要辦理簽證的人：

因為消息已經傳開，大家都知道這裡的簽證特別好拿。領事館人員的嘴臉就日漸變得囂張。

尤其是每個特定在處理文件的老姊頭，最簡單分辨她的方式就是...她有虹膜異色症，簡單來說她的虹膜兩隻眼睛是不同顏色的。

她可以任意修改伊朗簽證的旅遊天數，縱使正式文件下來應該是一個月的，她老娘不開心想砍幾天就砍幾天。

她叫人的方式也非常不禮貌，你從日本來就叫你Japan，有好幾個日本人的話就隨便取代號，總之，不會叫你的名字。

目前走過的大使館，就她最機車，遠超過我在中亞遇過的俄羅斯人的機車程度。

但你的簽證是靠她吃飯的，所以...能忍盡量忍吧！

問題也不要問太多，當心她老娘一不爽，你害的是全部要申請簽證的人一起被砍天數。(Kyle真實發生事件...)

總之，如果你的護照裡頭，或是檔案被拉出來證明你有去過伊朗。

很抱歉，特拉布宗已經不是你的好選擇，還是乖乖地辦理RN再過來領簽證吧！

About Trabzon.

This is the place where you could apply Iranian visa easily on the way of Silk Road.

Because there's no need of Reference Number(In short,RN) and you could highly possibly acquire visa on the same day.

Address：Taksim Caddesi Kiziltoprak Sokak No: 3

From Atatürk Alani Meydam Parki，Pass the highway bridge and go up on the hill.Turn left on the first intersection and you'll see the waving Iranian flag.

But!Unfortunately,if you've ever applied Iranian visa,you can NOT apply visa via the way without RN.

The officer in the consulate couldn't explain the reason but from their conversations in Farsi,I could roughly understand that they said because I'd been there so I couldn't get visa without RN.Which is really ridiculous because I got my Iranian visa with RN for that time I applied for it.

I,myself and another Taiwanese traveler,both could testify this is true.

And here's another thing you should be aware of,

The lady,one of the officer,could change the duration of your stay in Iran by her own will.

Sounds ridiculous?In Iran,most of the things work like this way.

You could see who's this bitchy lady if I told you how to,she got Heterochromia iridum,which means she got different colors in her eyes.

She never called your name,not even close.If you're from Japan,she'll just call you "Japan".And if there are people from the same country,still,she'll just name something like Japan1,etc..

Bitchier than the Russians I've ever encountered.All the embassies and consulates I've ever visited,I've never seen this kind of ignorant officer with such a power.

Don't get her pissed off!

If you do,you're not just putting yourself in visa-duration-cutting-down situation,instead,for everyone wants to apply visa that day.They have to suffer because of you.(Really happened to my friend.)

So,if you've ever been to Iran.Trabzon is no longer your best choice.

Just get RN and apply Iranian visa with standard procedure.
