<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAn airport cleaning service worker approaches us. This man has some difficulty walking due to some kind of disability. He begins to speak to us in Farsi, so we do not understand what he is saying. We don't pay much attention to it and continue our conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here came the great ERROR on our part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We observe that by not paying attention, this person turns around and leaves the place, stops where the office that was processing the Visa was located and stopped to talk. Then he turns to us and mockingly says "VISA, JAJAJAJAJA VISA, JAJAJAJA, CHAOOOOO" while saying goodbye to us with his hand, laughing non-stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few minutes pass and the person who was processing the Visa comes to us and tells us that our entry to Iran has been DENIED<\/strong>, without giving us any further explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe tried to talk to him, but the answer was emphatic and cut you \u201cNO\u201d at all times without being able to enter into any type of conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were stunned by this situation. We quickly comment on the impression that the situation has given us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We should have given this person some money, however little it was, we shared the situation we have just experienced and the whole group agrees with this reading of the situation. Who knows, we may be wrong, but the laughing gesture of that person who was asking us for money I think is quite obvious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our guide waits for us on the other side of the Visa control, we can talk to him by phone and he quickly appears at the exit of the police control, we manage to speak with him and explain what happened. Try to make arrangements with the authorities, but all unsuccessful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Back in Istanbul, without the passports.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFinally a policeman seems not to like too much that we are talking and close to the Visa control and invites us, with all the obligation to sit down and be still and quiet while we wait, without giving us any information about the situation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had to wait a couple of hours or so without knowing what would happen, if we would have to buy return tickets or not. Finally an airport worker approached and with a lot of haste and demands made us follow him. We boarded the same plane that we had arrived in Iran. We asked him about his passports, they carried them in a sealed envelope that he gave directly to the pilot of the plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon our arrival in Istanbul, they did not let us disembark like the rest of the passage, they made us wait until the entire plane was emptied so that we could leave. As soon as we went down the stairs of the plane, the airport police were waiting to accompany us at all times. They told us to wait in a place separated from other travelers, delimited with tapes and with more police presence. We tried to talk to them several times, but only received one response: "Wait Here." Finally a woman approached and we were able to speak with her communicating our desire to stay in Istanbul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He treated us very kindly, and at our request to stay in Istanbul he informed us that he had to consult it and informed us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally he informed us that we could stay in Istanbul, but that we would lose the flights back to Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We quickly readjusted the trip to Turkey, but from that I will write a new blog post explaining the whole trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
