The Iranian government has approved visa-free policy for Chinese tourists visiting Iran, Eghtesadonline news website reported Sunday (June 30).
"As per the policy, Chinese tourists visiting Iran will no
longer need to obtain visas," said Vali Teymouri, deputy head of Iran
Cultural Heritage, Handcraft and Tourism Organization.
Last week, Iranian President
Hassan Rouhani asked the Interior Ministry to arrange to waive visa-stamping or
marking the passports of foreign nationals visiting the country.
The move aims to facilitate
travels to the country without fear of possible US penalties.
Last year, Washington
announced that travellers who have visited certain countries, including Iran, will face restrictions on entering the United States.
According to the Iranian
media, Iran
welcomed some 7.8 million foreign nationals in 2018, up 52.5 percent from the
previous year.
Iran aims to attract 20 million foreign
tourists annually by 2025.
