The Embassy of India, Tehran on Sunday issued a fresh advisory asking Indian nationals currently in Iran not to approach or attempt to cross any of the country’s land borders without prior coordination with the mission.
In its advisory dated March 16, the Embassy reiterated the guidance issued earlier on March 9 and urged Indian citizens to strictly follow official instructions before making any travel plans. The mission cautioned that any attempt to leave Iran through land borders without its knowledge and approval could lead to serious logistical and immigration-related complications.
According to the Embassy, it remains in constant contact with members of the Indian community in Iran and is working to arrange coordinated travel assistance wherever required. However, it strongly discouraged unplanned or uncoordinated movement towards border areas.
Officials warned that Indian nationals attempting to exit Iran via land routes without prior consultation with the Embassy could face significant difficulties during transit. The advisory also clarified that the mission may not be able to provide assistance to individuals once they move outside Iranian territory without prior coordination.
The Embassy urged all Indian citizens in Iran to stay connected with official communication channels and adhere strictly to the advisories issued by the mission before undertaking any travel.
For emergencies or travel-related queries, the Embassy has shared dedicated helpline numbers: +98 912 810 9115, +98 912 810 9102, +98 912 810 9109, and +98 993 217 9359. Citizens can also reach out via email at cons.tehran@mea.gov.in
