If you have plenty of time before you intend to travel (at least 8 weeks), you can apply for a visa by contacting your nearest Iranian Embassy. Alternatively, you can use an Iranian Visa Service which specialises in Press Visas and Media Services. Often they will be able to arrange a press visa for you at short notice, without the need for you to attend an interview. As well as supplying press visas, they can provide a range of media services.
