SRINAGAR: The Embassy of India in Tehran on Monday advised Indian nationals currently in Iran not to approach or attempt to cross any land border for onward travel without prior coordination with the embassy.
In an advisory issued on Monday, the embassy reiterated its earlier notice dated March 9, urging Indian citizens to avoid any uncoordinated movement towards land borders. It stated that anyone planning to travel out of Iran by land must first obtain explicit approval and guidance from the embassy.
The mission said it remains in regular contact with members of the Indian community in Iran and is making coordinated arrangements wherever required. However, it strongly discouraged individuals from heading towards border crossings independently.
The advisory warned that Indian nationals leaving Iran through land borders without informing the embassy could face serious logistical and immigration-related difficulties. It further clarified that the embassy would not be able to provide assistance once individuals move outside Iranian territory without prior coordination.
All Indian nationals in Iran have been urged to strictly follow the embassy’s advisories and remain connected with official communication channels before undertaking any travel.
For travel-related queries or emergencies, the embassy asked citizens to contact its helpline numbers: +98 912 810 9115, +98 912 810 9102, +98 912 810 9109, +98 993 217 9359, or email [cons.tehran@mea.gov.in (mailto:cons.tehran@mea.gov.in).
