When is the visa-free time from Iran to China? Is it safe to travel to Iran?

Iran is a typical Middle Eastern country and the birthplace of ancient Persian civilization. Now Iran is famous for its oil, an ancient civilization with a history of more than 2,000 years, and numerous historical sites and cultural heritages. This is a good tourist destination. Here, I'd like to share with you the latest policies and news about visa exemption for China tourists.

Iranian visa-free time for China

At present, the specific time has not been announced to the public. You can pay attention to this page at any time and will keep updating the latest news.

On June 29th, 2000, it was reported that the Iranian Cabinet had officially approved the visa-free entry policy for China tourists. Since then, China tourists have "no need to obtain a visa in advance" to travel to Iran.

According to local sources, the new visa policy is mainly to attract more high-quality tourists from China and increase local tourism revenue. After all, the sanctions imposed by the western world on Iran are still very serious, which can alleviate the economic problems a little.

However, this is a unilateral measure, that is, Iranian tourists visiting China still need to obtain relevant visas issued by China in advance, and the visa-free policy for China tourists will be implemented in the near future. "After the implementation, China tourists can visit Iran visa-free and enjoy the hospitality of Iranians". The Iranian embassy in China said that the specific date of the visa-free policy has not yet been determined.

Status quo of visa exemption in Iran

Iran only grants visa-free access to a few countries such as Turkey and Syria. And unilaterally exempt China tourists from entry, which is a special treatment. In response to US sanctions, Iran has recently taken some measures to increase tourism revenue. The United States has always imposed travel restrictions on foreign tourists whose passports are stamped with the entry stamp of Iran, that is, if foreign tourists go to Iran, it will be difficult for them to go to the United States or even other countries.

In view of this, Iranian Cabinet spokesman Ali Rabbi said on 23rd that Iranian President Rouhani had ordered that foreigners' passports to Iran should not be stamped with visa stamps or marks to help tourists avoid being restricted by the United States.

According to the report, Iran has adopted a flexible approach, that is, foreigners entering Iran do not stamp their passports, but only issue separate entry and exit items. In this way, even if tourists come to Iran, the United States and so on many times, it is difficult to know, because there is no record on their passports and there is no restriction.

Previously, Iran's diplomatic and official passports to China were visa-free, but visas were required for entry with private passports. Previously, there were not many tourists from China. One of the main reasons is that it is difficult to get a visa, which makes it difficult for people to hike this ancient Persian civilization.

Iran has a long history and civilization of 2500 years. In recent years, millions of foreign tourists visit Iran every year. Temuri said in April this year that about 7.8 million tourists came to Iran in the last fiscal year, an increase of 52.5% compared with the previous year.

"Most foreign tourists who visited Iran last year came from neighboring countries and European and American countries," he added. "The low cost of travel packages is the key factor that makes Iran more attractive." "In recent months, the Iranian government has redoubled its efforts to promote tourism to increase foreign exchange income and create employment opportunities.

From 20 10 to 20 12, the annual travel risk maps released by global risk professional institutions show that Iran is relatively safe for foreign travelers, as safe as developed countries such as Europe and America, and China tourists can rest assured.
