Visa regime between Nakhchivan and Iran simplified
Tabriz, September 22 (AZERTAC). Iranian nationals visiting Nakhchivan receive a 15-day visa at Jolfa and Poldasht borders as of September 20.
According to the Azerbaijani consulate general in Tabriz, the visa is made available to Iranian nationals in line with the agreement reached during the Ninth Iran- Azerbaijan Commission following a letter from the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
He said the visa is available only for visiting Nakhchivan and those seeking visa for Baku or other cities must apply with the Azerbaijan Consulate in Iran beforehand. Iranians are required to pay 10 Euros at the border for receiving visa.
The official hoped that the decision would positively influence on trade and tourism between the neighbouring Iranian and Azerbaijani provinces.
