The Deputy Minister of Tourism announced the agreement to issue a “limited” Iran Visa for tourists under the appearance of visitors of Expo Dubai.
According to reports, suspending the issuance of Iran Visa s for foreign tourists started in April 2020. The Deputy Minister of Tourism had said that with the initial agreement of the committees of the National Corona Headquarters, they will resume issuing this visa for foreign tourists from mid-July 1400.
With the beginning of the fifth wave of Corona in Iran, they stopped this decision. Tourism activists have repeatedly called on the Corona National Headquarters to lift restrictions on issuing Iran Visa s. At present, foreign nationals can travel to Iran on medical, work, and study visas.
In a webinar with tourism managers of Hormozgan province and Kish and Qeshm free trade zones, the officials pointed out some facts.
To take more advantage of the six-month opportunity to hold Expo 2021 Dubai and support tourism industry activists, issuing Iran Visa s for travel and entry of tourists is necessary. The Dubai Expo is scheduled to be held from October 30, 1400, to April 1401.
After issuing the Iran Visa each of the free zones can measure and plan to observe health protocols, provide the possibility of holding tourist tours, and the opportunity to visit the tourist attractions of the region and other provinces.
In this meeting, they decided they should establish a joint secretariat in Kish and Qeshm Islands to facilitate tourism activities and help tourism activists in the Iran pavilion. One of the tourist attractions similar to the Iran Pavilion at the Expo, as a pilot, provides the infrastructure for hosting visitors and tourists to this important event.
The officials considered the necessary coordination to attract visitors step-by-step and delegations to the Expo to visit free zones and from there to other areas in Iran.
