Re: Posof (TR) - Vale (GEO): border crossing reports

Re: Simcards for foreigners in Iran: Q&A

I just bought a sim card at Teheran airport. 6$ for 30 days, 5Go and 4h call with Irancell.
It took about 60seconds to have it done and 20min activation. You need to show your passport.

We had to pay by WeChat, Alipay or domestic bank card.
Hopefully one officer is doing this job with his hown card. (Or you find someone to pay for you).
They also give a WeChat official account for questions regarding visa : 昆明出入境
