Can a Japanese citizen get a visa for Iran at the border from Pakistan?
score:6
My Japanese friend tried this week in Islamabad (not near the border but better than nothing), at the Consulate General of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Conclusion: It is hard to get, but not impossible!
- The first time she tried, she was turned down.
- The second time she tried even harder, and that worked!
She paid a Rs. 5000 visa fee.

According to IATA's TimaticWeb database which most airlines check visa requirements against (which I accessed through Delta Airlines' site), visa-on-arrival in Iran is available for:
Holders of normal passports traveling as tourist can obtain a visa on arrival, for a max. stay of 15 days, provided:
- holding an e-visa pre-approval code obtained via e-mail from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at: www.mfa.gov.ir; and
arriving at Chah-Bahar (ZBR), Gheshm (GSM), Kish (KIH), Mashad, (MHD) Esfahan (IFN), Shiraz (SYZ), Tabriz (TBZ) and Tehran Imam Khomeini International (IKA) or Tehran Mehrabad International (THR); and
holding a photograph, a copy of passport's biographical page and fee of between EUR 30 and EUR 80.
It would therefore seem obtaining visa-on-arrival is not possible at land borders.

Online visa applications seem to be down at the moment, but the embassy should be able to help him out. If they say he can't get a visa, I doubt he'll get one by just turning up at some dusty border checkpoint and asking (and if they let him through after paying a few hundred dollars, he's going to have trouble with the first police or other security checkpoint that asks for his papers).
