We strongly urge everyone not to rely on false information shared on social media about the Iran–Türkiye border.
The border between Iran and Türkiye remains tightly controlled. Those possessing valid passports and visas issued by Turkish authorities are allowed to cross through official border checkpoints only.
In addition to strict border management, there are serious risks en route, including dangerous terrain and possible exposure to crime.
We advise you to avoid taking dangerous journeys, which put your life and the lives of your family members at serious risk.
