Four states to issue 'Shamgen' visa

presstv.ir

>>The four regional countries of Iran, Turkey, Syria, and Iraq will issue a common visa named “Shamgen” for their citizens, says deputy head of Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization.

The foreign ministers of the four countries are currently in final negotiations to decide on the visa, Shahbaz Yazdani told IRNA on Saturday.

Issuing travel visas will precipitate and enhance the tourism industry in the four countries, Yazdani went on to say.

Earlier, Head of Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization Hamid Baqaei had said he favored visa-free travels to Iran for Islamic countries and neighboring states.

Baqaei said that removing the visa obligation for travelers that visit Iran would boost the country's tourism industry.

The word “Shamgen” which is a regional version of the European Union's “Schengen” is coined from “Sham,” Syria's historical name. <<
