Introduction of Iran Tourist Card

If you want to travel to Iran, you may be asking yourself how to get a MasterCard in Iran. Well, this is not really possible in Iran; since Iranian banking is not part of international banking, your credit cards, such as a visa or a Master Card, will be useless in Iran. So, should you carry all your cash wherever you go in Iran? Here’s a solution. Read about Iran Credit Card and Iranian Tourism Card by Iran Destination, Iran Travel Agency.

Today, some Persian banks, such as the National Bank of Iran (or the National Bank of Iran), Pasargad Bank, and Saman Bank offer Iranian tourist cards to tourists. So you can easily exchange your cash on your Iranian credit card.

For the first time, in order to solve the problem that tourists in Iran have with regard to carrying cash, they first issued the Iranian Tourism Card. These cards have a specific expiration date and you can charge up to $ 5,000.

Details of Iran Tourist Card for Foreign Tourists

Foreign tourists arriving in Iran, especially in countries with large foreign exchange differences with Iran, face currency exchange problems. To solve this dilemma, Iranian authorities have devised a method in which the currency of the tourist, either through banknotes or master and visa cards, is converted into a currency card used in Iran, for example, if a tourist gives $ 100 to a bank, receives a card with the same credit.

Designed credit cards are available at Iran’s inbound airports and tourists can even register online for this card. It can be paid either by PayPal or MasterCard or by cash at the airport when arriving at the airport or by a cash machine.

For the moment, however, this platform is mostly prepared for the tourist agencies importing tours to Iran. The way it works is that the agency registers the platform, provides portal access, and cards are exchanged with tourists.

The currency inside this card is converted to the current exchange rate and the tourist can buy the riyal and return to their home country to withdraw the remaining currency, either through the agency, or through the PayPal account to zero in and withdraw the money. Return to your currency and credit card and leave the country.

Application of Iran tourist card

Since you cannot use your Visa or MasterCard in Iran, these credit cards will help you buy anything you want in Iran in Iranian currency, the Rial. You can also use all payment channels in Iran such as ATM, mobile applications, POS, internet payment, online shopping and more.
