The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has announced a visa-free policy for Indian tourists from February 4, 2024, the Iranian Embassy in New Delhi said in an official statement issued on Tuesday.
The announcement comes as a part of Iran’s visa-waiver programme for several countries, including India, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Brazil and Mexico. The visa-free entry is exclusively for tourism purposes, meaning those traveling for business or educational reasons must still obtain a visa under the respective categories. It’s important to note that this policy only applies to air travelers; Indian citizens who wish to travel to Iran by road are required to secure a visa beforehand.
