Overview
Iran has common borders with seven countries including Turkmenistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey, Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan.
Iran's land border crossings are crucial entry and exit points for goods and travelers, facilitating international trade and regional connectivity. These crossings are equipped with various facilities to support customs, immigration, and transportation services. Common facilities include customs inspection areas, immigration checkpoints, cargo terminals, parking facilities, and administrative offices. Additionally, some crossings may have amenities such as rest areas, restaurants, and currency exchange services to cater to travelers' needs.
However, crossing Iran's land borders can pose challenges and obstacles for travelers and traders. Common issues include long wait times due to congestion, bureaucratic procedures, and security checks. Delays in processing paperwork and cargo inspections can also occur, leading to disruptions in trade flows and travel schedules. Moreover, language barriers and cultural differences may complicate interactions with border officials, particularly for international travelers.
