Russia and Iran plan to implement a visa-free tourist travel agreement between the two countries in 2023, the Russian Minister of Economic Development said.







Maxim Reshetnikov made the remarks on Friday at the MITT exhibition, Russia�s premier B2B travel and tourism trade show, according to TASS.

"We plan to shift toward implementing the agreement for visa-free group tourism. The list of tour operators intending to organize such groups among Russians [accommodating up to 50 persons for a tour length of up to 15 days ] has already been approved," the minister said.

"This document has already been passed on to [our] colleagues in Iran. We are now waiting for a similar [list] from you so as to let the tourist exchange process get underway," Reshetnikov said, addressing his Iranian counterparts.
