Iran’s government spokesman says the cabinet has approved free visas for visitors during the FIFA World Cup 2022, which will be held in Qatar.

“Another agreement made during the president’s visit to Qatar has been implemented; with the government’s approval today (April 13, 2022), it has been decided that issuance of visas for visitors who seek to travel to Iran during the FIFA World Cup 2022 would be free,” Ali Bahadori Jahromi said in a tweet.
