Iran and Russia sign visa waiver agreement
The deal focuses on making it easier for large tourist groups to travel to Iran and Russia.
Iran and Russia signed a visa waiver agreement geared toward tourists on Monday.
The Islamic Republic’s Tourism Minister Ali Asghar Mounesan met with his Russian counterpart Zarina Doguzova in Moscow to sign the deal. The agreement allows tourists in groups of five to 50 people to enter the other country on a single visa as opposed to all the potential visitors obtaining individual visas. The deal was first signed in 2017 and was finalized on Monday, according to Iran’s semiofficial Tasnim News Agency.
