This week, the Ministry of Tourism was waiting for the final approval of the Corona headquarters for the issuance of a tourist visa, after a suspension of about a year, but now the National Anti-Corona Headquarter announces that the entry rules for foreign tourists have become stricter and travel restrictions to Iran escalated.
The Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts had forecast 10 million tourists to enter the country in the 2020 budget, but those estimates were shattered by the outbreak of the Coronavirus, the suspension of international flights, the closure of land borders and the suspension of tourist visas.
Following the suspension of foreign tourists to Iran, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism also entered into negotiations with the National Anti-Corona Headquarters to lift the boycott of Iranian tourist visas. In recent weeks, after numerous requests from tour operators for visas, at least for nature and tourists traveling in their own cars, the Deputy Minister of Tourism announced the finalization of some negotiations for the resumption of tourist visas in a limited and planned manner, while now the spokesman The National Corona Headquarters is talking about setting new requirements for foreign travelers to enter the country and tightening regulations.
What are the new restrictions on travel to Iran?
On Saturday, January 30, Alireza Raeisi, After the meeting of the National Headquarters against Corona, while tourism activists were waiting to hear the news of the resumption of Iranian tourist visas, announced: All travelers from any country, even neighboring countries to travel to Iran must be tested Have negative PCR. All incoming passengers are also to be re-tested for Covid-19, and if a passenger enters the country from Europe, in addition to having a negative Corona test certificate and performing PCR at the entrance border, he or she must be quarantined at home for 14 days.
Now the Deputy Minister of Health has said that by tightening the implementation of those requirements and protocols, the land, air, and water borders will be tightly controlled. The Minister of Health had recently called for closer control of the borders with Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
However, the spokesman for the Corona National Headquarters expressed the hope that if the protocols are followed well by the end of the six weeks until the end of the year, we will have a relaxed Nowruz holiday, and even one of the approvals of this meeting is the operation of hotels in suitable areas. Observance of strict protocols and implementation of some tours during Nowruz has been supervised.
This is very interesting.
