Iran visa for Russian citizens

For Iranian citizens venturing to Russia, the journey is facilitated by a visa-free agreement, allowing for stays of up to 30 days, making spontaneous trips a real possibility. While no specific visa fee is associated with this arrangement, remember that your passport will need to remain valid for at least six months beyond your intended departure. With over 15 million Iranian citizens traveling internationally annually, many opt for direct flights from Tehran to Moscow, though be mindful of the approximate 3.5-hour time difference when planning your arrival and initial acclimatization to Russian time.
