Question 1

What is PAK QOM and what is your primary business?

Accepted Answer

PAK QOM specializes primarily in currency exchange assistance (PKR to Iranian Toman & Rial) for travelers and zaireen journeying between Pakistan and Iran. We also provide complete secondary travel services including Qom and Mashhad Ziyarat tour coordination, airline ticketing assistance, and hotels near holy shrines.

Question 2

Why are live exchange rates not published on the website?

Accepted Answer

Because foreign currency rates in Iran fluctuate continuously according to daily open-market trading, static online rates quickly become outdated. PAK QOM provides real-time, verified rate quotes directly on WhatsApp (+98 991 034 6671) so you receive accurate figures for your travel date.

Question 3

Can I exchange Pakistani Rupees (PKR) for Iranian Toman before departure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PAK QOM coordinates pre-departure currency exchange assistance in Pakistan so you travel with genuine, clean Iranian currency notes ready for immediate arrival expenses such as taxis, food, and hotel check-in.

Question 4

What is the difference between Iranian Toman and Rial?

Accepted Answer

1 Toman equals 10 Rials. Iranian banknotes are printed in Rials, but all merchants, bazaars, and taxi drivers quote prices in Tomans (drop one zero from the printed Rial note). For example, 100,000 Rials is 10,000 Tomans. We thoroughly guide zaireen on this calculation.

Question 5

Do Pakistani ATM cards or credit cards work in Iran?

Accepted Answer

No. Due to international banking sanctions, Pakistani or international debit/credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, UnionPay) do not function at Iranian ATMs or shops. All visitors must carry cash or obtain an Iranian tourist debit card upon arrival.

Question 6

What secondary Ziyarat and travel services does PAK QOM provide?

Accepted Answer

Alongside currency exchange, we provide comprehensive pilgrimage support: hotels within walking distance of the Haram in Qom and Mashhad, airline tickets from Pakistan, electronic visa authorization assistance, and Pakistani Urdu-speaking guides.

Question 7

Are your hotels close to the holy shrines in Qom and Mashhad?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In Qom, our accommodations are situated within a 5 to 7 minute walk of the Hazrat Fatima Masumeh (S.A.) Shrine gates. In Mashhad, hotels are located within 300 to 500 meters of the Imam Reza (A.S.) Haram courtyards.

Question 8

Do you arrange airline tickets and Iran visas for Pakistani travelers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our ticketing desk helps you select the best flight routes (direct or connecting via UAE/Qatar) from Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad to Tehran and Mashhad, and coordinates electronic visa authorizations.
