According to Obeid Ibrahim Al Zaabi, Director of the Foreign Ministry’s Department of Consular Affairs, the UAE Foreign Ministry had received a memorandum to that effect from its Iranian counterpart saying that the Iranian authorities had decided to give UAE citizens travelling to Iran a seven-day entry visa on condition that the validity of the passport of the visa recipient is not less than six months. He said the Iranian authorities had earmarked four airports where the facility can be obtained. The airports include the Imam Al Khomeini Airport, Mahrabad Airport, Shiraz Airport and Tabreez Airport. Those who want to stay in Iran for over one week are required to obtain visa either at the Iranian embassy or the Consulate-General in Dubai.

Meanwhile, Al Zaabi received at his office here yesterday the Charge d’Affaires at the Palestinian Embassy, Fayiz Mottawe and discussed with him consular issues of mutual interest.
