Good News for travel to Iran!?
I've just been told by tourist information in Tabriz, Iran, that as of four days ago overland travellers coming from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Syria, etc can collect an extendable 15 day tourist visa at the border. This even includes Americans!(But not Israelis).
The source seems reliable and says he had spoken to a friend at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who confirmed it.
Don't take my word for it, check with Iranian embassy at home or MFA in Tehran. Sounds like good news though.
NB. I understand travellers coming from Pakistan still need a blood test(we had to get one, which was a shock) to get a visa, so you need to check for the procedure from there
PS. The Turkey border is open again.
