Tehran and Dushanbe have formalised a landmark agreement to abolish visa requirements for air travel between their capitals, according to an official statement released by the Iranian Embassy in Tajikistan.
The new policy, endorsed by Iran, is set to come into force on 3 February 2025. Under this agreement, citizens of Iran and Tajikistan holding ordinary passports will be able to travel between Tehran and Dushanbe without a visa, with stays permitted for up to 30 days within a 90-day period.
Iran and Tajikistan already maintain a steady flow of travelers, with approximately 8,000 Tajik visitors traveling to Iran annually, while 8,500 Iranians visit Tajikistan each year. With the new visa-free arrangement in place, both nations have set an ambitious target to increase these visits to 100,000 per year.
The two countries share deep cultural and linguistic ties, and both governments recognize the mutual economic potential in boosting tourism exchanges. Travelers from both nations will now find it easier to explore historical, religious, and cultural sites without bureaucratic hurdles, a shift that is expected to encourage long-term tourism growth.
