COVID-19 Travel Regulations for Iran (UPDATE) 25th of May 2022 Iran travel regulations have been updated and entering the country can now be made easier by the new rules and regulation set up by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts. Iran's Deputy Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts Ministry, Mr. Ali Asghar Shalbafian, said: "According to Iran's National Headquarters for Coronavirus Control, Travelers and tourists can currently travel to Iran presenting either a double vaccination certificate or a negative corona test (PCR)." Previously, foreign tourists could enter the country if they provided both a vaccination certificate and a negative result of the Corona test. Now, to facilitate the entry and exit of foreign tourists from the air, land, and sea borders, both Iranian citizens, as well as citizens of countries that are not among the high-risk countries, can have only one of the two conditions to get an Iran visa. All passengers over the age of 12 can now present a vaccination certificate of COVID-19 in English showing that they were fully vaccinated at least 14 days before arrival, or a negative COVID-19 PCR or RT-PCR test taken at most 72 hours before departure from the first embarkation point. For those under the age of 12, neither a vaccination certificate nor PCR test is required. Since March 2020, Iran’s borders were closed to the world due to the Covid-19 pandemic. After 20 months of suspension, Iran's borders were reopened on 27th October 2021, so that foreign nationals were able to apply for an Iran tourist visa. From late October until the time being, Iran has experienced a 10 percent increase in foreign tourist arrivals. Now that the coronavirus pandemic has been almost under control, it is anticipated that Iran's travel and tourism industry experiences considerable growth until the

Best Time to Visit Iran? Iran’s four seasons are very well defined. Due to its big size, the various regions that make up the country have very different weather conditions, temperature, rainfall and level of humidity during the year. Depending on where you are, whether in a high mountainous area, a vast desert, a forest, or one of the two coastal regions going from north to south, (the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf ), this climate diversity makes it possible to travel all year round. So a question easily arises: What is the best time to visit Iran? High season / Low season As an example, what is known as the LOW SEASON is due to the high summer temperatures in most parts of the country making it unattractive for travelers to visit the cities. However, the Caspian Sea area has its busiest time of the year during this season as many locals from all over Iran, especially from the capital, are traveling there to soak up the sun and swim. For mountain lovers, summer is the best time to ascend the high peaks. Yet another example is the OFF-SEASON. This is the winter season when large parts of the country have very cold weather. Many domestic travelers go to the southern coast to enjoy the sunny weather there. In winter, when most of Iran’s tourist destinations are deserted, travelers will find it extremely difficult to find a vacant room in the Persian Gulf islands or tourist destinations along the southern coast. It's vital to mention the region and name of the destination when we use the term HIGH SEASON and LOW SEASON. As Iran is not yet a popular destination to travel to in the world, most of Iran’s visitors are cultural-historical travelers who come here to
