Iran introduces unilateral visa waiver for Chinese citizens

Chinese travelers visiting Iran for travel or business purpose do not need visa anymore, the Chinese embassy in Iran said.

Chinese citizens holding passports of the People's Republic of China, or of the Hong Kong or Macao special administrative regions of the PRC can enjoy visa-free travel to Iran. They can stay in the country for up to 21 days, ChinaDaily reported.

However, Iranian passport holders are still required to apply for a visa when travelling to China.
