Iran and Tajikistan Agree to Introduce Visa-Free Travel System

Citizens of Iran and Tajikistan with regular passports will soon be able to travel between the two countries by air without a visa, as announced by the Iranian Embassy in Tajikistan.

The corresponding decision was made by the Cabinet of Ministers of Iran, The Caspian Post reports citing Trend.

The new visa-free arrangement is slated to kick off on February 3, 2025, enabling citizens to spend up to 30 days in the host country during a 90-day window.

Notably, a similar policy was introduced on August 10, 2024, for travelers on the Dushanbe-Tehran and Tehran-Dushanbe air routes, following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two governments to remove visa requirements for holders of regular passports.

To note, Iran was the first nation to open an embassy in Dushanbe. It was also one of the first countries to give diplomatic recognition to Tajikistan after it gained independence in 1991. Iran gave diplomatic help and built new mosques in Tajikistan. Because of the rebirth of Persian culture and language in Tajikistan, Iran has promoted cultural interchange through conferences, media, and film festivals.
