Se poi dovessero esserci problemi chi avrebbe autorità, autorevolezza, mezzi e capacità per riportarti a casa.
L'agente di viaggio o la Farnesina?

Che la Farnesina abbia il polso non sarei così d'accordo, e cerco di motivarlo.
Iran è da una vita che non solo lo sconsigliano, ma a parte l'intervento dei 12 giorni non ho mai visto nessun problema ( ci sono stato 3 volte ).
Mi faccio anche una domanda, come mai grazie a questo warning, non è praticamente possibile ottenere in Italia, solo a partire da quest'anno, nessun CdP ?
In Germania te lo fanno, senza neppure muoversi, davanti al PC, e senza nessuna paternale ?
I tedeschi non capiscono nullla ?
Russia, nessun warning drammatico, lo sto guardando ora; siamo così sicuri di quanto consiglia la Farnesina ?
Negli ultimi 2 mesi ci sono passato, ed in questo momento sono a San Pietroburgo, ma la moto l'ho fatta spedire a Mosca in treno, per un semplice motivo; la situazione non è così tranquilla come dice la Farnesina. Domenica anniversario della marina, manifestazione cancellata, aerei a Mosca che non sempre partono ed arrivano, persone obbligate a dormire nell'aeroporto durante le ore di chiusura notturne.
Non sono depositario di nessuna realtà, solo considerazioni reali, e non posso neanche dire di buon senso.
Personalmente in questo momento, se non avvengono drastici cambiamenti, non ci penserei nemmeno lontanamente a pianificare in questi paesi.
D'accordo con chi sostiene che poi chi ci va ne paghi personalmente le conseguenze, sottinteso anche di tasca propria.

No niente... ce ne sono almeno altri 30 con lo stesso messaggio.

Mi sembra giusto avvisare e tutelare i viaggiatori, ma ogni tanto bisogna anche saper leggere le varie situazioni e sapere dove muoversi, in base anche alle proprie esperienze e conoscenze.

La prima volta in Mali rinuciai ad arrivare fino a Timbouctou perchè ero venuto a conoscenza del rapimento di 3 motociclisti e dell'uccisione del quarto un mese prima. Di fatto la zona era "blindata" come reazione da parte dei militari e quindi ipotecamente più sicura. Dalla Farnesina nessuna info al riguardo.

La seconda volta andando in Burkina evitammo di raggiungere le stesse zone che io avevo percorso 4 anni prima puntando verso sud... prima del confine burkinabè ci fu l'attentato di Ouaga al Capucine... i militari ci scortarono per fare visita alle cascate di Banfora, poi la mattina dopo più visti fino alla capitale dove c'era il coprifuoco serale.

Il buon senso si usa anche e soprattutto quando si è in giro, non solo prima di partire.

La Farnesina, che giustamente cerca di tutelarsi sapendo che l'Italia è una che "paga" sempre.

Ma andando un po' OT... ricordo l'ultimo arresto della giornalista italiana che girava facendo un "servizio particolare": ha la stessa incoscienza di un motociclista o viaggiatore in giro a fare foto?

L'anno scorso stessa sorte a 2 motocilisti inglesi, se non ricordo male, che tutte le volte che si fermavano... come va, cosa ne pensate del regime, come si sta in Iran, ora lo metto sul mio blob e social....

In ogni caso sul posto (Iran) ho preso contatti con operatori del settore e locals (onde evitare problemi) Sicuramente non è come andare a Rimini e come ogni posto bisogna rispettare regole evitando incomprensioni. (Foto ai militari ad esempio ecc.) Esistono tanti altri paesi in cui la farnesina sconsiglia il transito....(Turchia ad esempio).

1) come ha scritto @kinobi io progetto 2026 e spero in un drastico miglioramento della situazione.
2) mi dispiace che a qualcuno stiano sulle @@ i trentini. :lol:
Non so se riuscirai a vedere l'immagine del sito viaggiare sicuri.

qualche aggiornamento

Bon... avevo letto velocemente in inglese e avevo capito il contrario, con le nuove regole impossibile muoversi in modalità overlander... si dovrà essere accompagnati come un cagnolino al guinzaglio da città a città, prenotando in anticipo tappe, alberghi e visite.

Mi spiace per Daniel che ci teneva tanto, non penso faccia al caso suo e a quello di molti altri viaggiatori.

E spiegano anche che sara’ un miglioramento su tutti i fronti….
Organizzarsi tra motociclisti per avere una sola guida …….
Preferisco non scrivere cosa penso veramente.
Credo fermamente che il turismo non riprenderà’ se non in scarsissima percentuale, peccato !

e @fagot se rimane così..... il carnet si allontana sempre di più. Io mi stavo iniziando ad appoggiare ad alcune agenzie perchè in un paio di città comunque mi avrebbe fatto piacere avere una guida ma così..... non si può. La mia programmazione va avanti e rimane in standby tanto fino in Turchia il viaggio non cambia... ora bisognerà vedere da Erzincan (punto ideologico) verso dove proseguire... ma c'è tempo.

@bangi concordo..... il vantaggio è per le guide e le agenzie.. ma in realtà non lo è !!!Perchè di fatto a queste condizioni la gente opterà per altre mete. Ma capisco la decisione del governo iraniano.....
Pazienza

La Diega viaggia tranquilla perché sa che in caso di...... lo recupero io!! :cool:

Fosse la prima volta che vado in quei posti a portare a casa gente....:mad::mad:

Anzi...ora avviso anche Mamba.....lavoravamo in simbiosi....:!::!:

Io lo dicevo in generale.
Nel caso di Dieghino ci sarei anch'io [emoji106][emoji123][emoji3]

Vi aspetto tutti con il braai bello caldo e le birre fresche.
Ditemi solo cosa volete: manzo, maiale o struzzo?
L'entreè di ostriche senza il ghiaccio sarebbe sprecata... al limite vedo di recuperare un po' di brina notturna e tenerla da parte, ma non garantisco sulla scadenza

Fotty ha passato l'ispezione. Abile e arruolata, domani comincia a prendere il sole poco per volta sennò si scotta come al solito... le porto la corona nuova in regalo.

Grazie per la foto Diego!! :!::!:

Mi verrebbe voglia di venir giù e riprendere l'appartamento a Stellenbosch :arrow::arrow:

Bly Kalm Ons Gaan Braai !! ;)

Per me Sirlon 300gr quasi al sangue.... :D:D e bottiglia di Pinotage :D:D

Ah...fai scorta di Biltong....proteine...poco peso...e si conserva

Major Update for Iran Visa Regulations – August 2025: What Travelers Need to Know
JUL 28, 2025 0 COMMENT
The recent 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel has left a significant mark on the Iranian tourism industry. In the aftermath of this short yet impactful war, many airlines canceled or limited flights to Iran, and the number of potential tourists dropped drastically. Thousands of tourism workers, from travel agencies and tour guides to hotel owners, were forced to shut down their businesses or change careers.
In response to the unstable situation and in an effort to rebuild trust, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran has introduced a new visa rule aimed at ensuring the safety of travelers while reviving the tourism economy. If you are planning to travel to Iran, here’s everything you need to know about the updated Iran visa regulations and how TAP Persia can assist you every step of the way.
Iran Visa Major Update 2025
Table of Contents show
What Has Changed?
Before the war, most nationalities—except for a few like the US, UK, and Canada—could easily obtain a tourist visa within 3-5 business days. Visitors had the flexibility to plan their own itineraries, stay in hotels, hostels, or with locals, and travel freely across the country without the need for a tour guide.
However, after a one-month suspension of visa processing, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now requires all tourists to enter Iran as part of a pre-arranged tour package, whether solo or with a group (if traveling with family or friends). This must be organized through a registered travel agency. As the top-rated agency in Iran with over 1,250 five-star reviews on TripAdvisor, TAP Persia is fully licensed and ready to handle this process for you.
Key Updates to the Iran Visa Rule (August 2025)
1. Mandatory Tour Package
One of the most significant changes is that travelers are no longer permitted to travel to Iran on their own and they can only apply for a visa by booking a pre-arranged tour package with an Iranian travel agency. TAP Persia offers a variety of tour packages to suit different budgets and preferences. Some of the options include:
Escort-Guided Tours (Ideal for Couples and Families) – A dedicated guide will accompany you throughout your trip, ensuring you have a personalized experience. We’ll recommend and book the best boutique and traditional hotels to give you a true taste of Iran.
Local-Guided Tours (Perfect for Solo Travelers and Budget-Conscious Travelers) – In this model, you will have a local guide in each city, offering a more authentic experience. Local guides have deeper knowledge of their region and, since they stay in their own homes, this tour type is more affordable. We will add more affordable hotels for you to minimize the cost.
Group Tours (Great for Families or Groups of Friends) – These tours operate on fixed dates with a pre-set itinerary. Group members share the costs for the guide, transportation, and accommodations. If you have travel companions, this option is ideal for splitting costs and enjoying the journey together.
Find Your Travel Mate – If you prefer to join a tour with other like-minded travelers, you can fill out our customized tour form, and we will connect you with potential travel mates to help reduce your costs while still enjoying a personalized itinerary.
TAP Persia offers flexibility to help you choose the best tour that matches your needs, allowing you to select the right experience and even change your plans if needed.
2. Fixed Travel Details
To apply for an Iranian visa, all trip details, such as travel dates, entry/exit points, and the itinerary, must be set with the travel agency before applying. However, TAP Persia offers flexibility to modify these details later, ensuring your trip can adapt to any unforeseen changes, without any extra charges.
3. Accommodation Booking by Travel Agency
Under the new regulations, staying with locals or using hosts is no longer allowed, and couch-surfing is prohibited. Overland travelers using campers, bikes, or bicycles are required to stay in registered accommodations, with the exception of travelers entering Iran with their campers. In this case, you may stay in your camper without the need to book additional accommodations. However, your guide must still stay in a hotel.
Travel agencies are now responsible for booking all accommodations, offering options ranging from budget to luxury stays. Once your visa is approved, the agency must submit your accommodation details to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you choose TAP Persia, you can still select your preferred accommodations from a wide range of options, ensuring your stay aligns with your preferences and budget.
4. Licensed Guides Are Mandatory
Under the new regulations, all travelers must be accompanied by a licensed escort or local guides throughout their trip. If you choose the local guide option, you will have a guide in each city, who will accompany you during your stay and then take you to the next city, where a new guide will continue your journey.
All TAP Persia guides are friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about providing an exceptional experience. You can read positive reviews from previous travelers on TAP Persia’s TripAdvisor to learn more about the quality of our guides.
5. Self-Driving Travelers Welcome
For travelers bringing their own vehicle (motorbike, car, bicycle, etc.), it is still possible to travel to Iran, but a licensed guide must accompany you throughout the trip. You must also provide documentation for your vehicle, including vehicle ID, insurance, photos, and any necessary international permits (e.g., CDP). But since the cost of having a full-time guide and booking registered accommodations can be relatively high for solo travelers, we highly recommend sharing your trip with friends or fellow travelers who plan to visit Iran around the same time and along a similar route. This way, you can split the expenses for the guide, transportation, and even accommodations—making your overland journey more affordable and just as enjoyable.
With Irantourismcenter you still maintain the freedom to choose your stops, and we’ll take care of the paperwork, route planning, and accommodation bookings—based entirely on your preferences and travel style.
6. Visa Extensions Are Limited
Visa extensions are no longer as straightforward and now require pre-approval. If you wish to extend your tour, TAP Persia will handle the extension request on your behalf through our tour guide. We will also assist you in finding the nearest Passport and Immigration Police Office to complete the process.
7. Resume File Requirement
Travelers must now provide more detailed personal information, including travel history, social media accounts, education, and professional records. This information helps speed up the visa processing and assures the Ministry that the traveler’s intentions are strictly for tourism.
8. Tour Contract Requirement
A formal contract must be signed between the traveler and the agency, outlining all the details of the tour package, including the itinerary, costs, inclusions, and exclusions. The contract must also cover relevant political and safety regulations in Iran.
9. Processing Time: 2–3 Weeks
With all the necessary documentation, the visa processing time will take approximately 2-3 weeks (excluding weekends and national holidays). It is essential to plan your trip in advance and apply for your visa early to avoid delays.
Why This New Rule is a Good Thing
While the new Iran visa rule may seem restrictive at first glance, it brings numerous benefits:
Increased traveler safety
Better coordination for tours and accommodations
Peace of mind with expert support
Revitalization of the local tourism economy
It ensures a more organized and secure experience for travelers, while also empowering local businesses and tour operators.

This streamlined process ensures you can apply for your Iran Visa and secure your tour with peace of mind, knowing that every step is handled by experts.
Countries Temporarily Exempt from New Iran Visa Regulations!!!
For travelers from certain countries, visa-free travel to Iran is still available, just as it was before. These travelers do not need to apply for a visa or book a mandatory tour package. However, they must adhere to the specific duration allowed for visa-free entry, as extensions are not permitted. If you wish to stay longer, you will need to apply for a visa under the new regulations, which require booking a pre-arranged tour package through a registered travel agency. It’s important to note that travelers using the visa-free option must stay only at registered accommodations, as staying with locals or hosts remains illegal.
If you hold a passport from one of the countries listed below, you can travel to Iran without the need for a visa, but be sure to check the duration and conditions specific to your nationality. Below is the latest list of visa-free nationalities based on the 2024 regulations:
• 90 days: Turkey, Armenia, Syria (only by direct flights from Damascus), Oman
• 45 days: Georgia
• 30 days: Iraq
• 29 days: Lebanon
• 21 days: China, Hong Kong, Macao
• 20 days: Egypt
• 14 days: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan
• 15 days (every 6 months, not extendable, only by air): India
• 15 days (every 6 months, not extendable): Bahrain, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Brunei, Cambodia, Croatia, Cuba, Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mexico, Peru, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Seychelles, Singapore, Tanzania, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Zimbabwe.
Our team is ready to assist you with arranging all of your travel needs, from Daily Tours and Hotel Bookings to Transportation Tickets (Flight, Train, & Bus), all of which can be booked online with instant credit card payment.
NOTE: As the new regulations are still in the early stages, the Ministry may make further changes to the rules. To ensure you have the latest information, we encourage you to stay in touch with US here before finalizing your travel plans.

Uf, hanno complicato le cose. Bisgera aspetare che la situazione si calmi.

Buon Giorno,
sono stato informato ora, e sto cercando conferme, che da tre giorni non è più indispensabile la guida in Iran. Nulla cambia sulla pericolosità del paese peggiorata secondo dei viaggiatori, o sulle altre norme (CdP e visto), ma forse c'è uno spiraglio.
Ciao,
E

Cazzarola, questa sera mi trovo ad Erzurum e domani potrei recarmi al Consolato iraniano per vedere un po’. Sta a vedere che ho fatto bene a portarmi dietro il CDP, peccato solo che sono qui in Turchia da 14 gg e potrei limitare il giro a non più di 10/15 gg. Nel caso vi aggiornerò sulla situazione visto.

Consolato iraniano a Erzurum?
