Foreign nationals are not allowed to street vend in Tehran
Continuing the widespread restrictions for foreign nationals in Iran, the CEO of the Tehran Job Organization announced that any street vending in public spaces will be legally addressed, and foreign nationals are not exempt from this law.
Previously, the Deputy Commander of Law Enforcement had declared that employing undocumented foreigners, buying and selling property or vehicles to them, and their involvement in activities such as security work are also considered crimes.
Saeid Beigi, the CEO of the Tehran Job Organization, stated in an interview with IRNA on Wednesday, September 26, that it is not appropriate for undocumented foreigners who do not have legal residency permits in Iran to move around the country and use our national resources. We do not allow them to do so.
According to Beigi, foreigners who have legal residency in the country can apply for a booth for their business, and in such cases, this option might be provided to them.
It is noteworthy that the Chief Commander of the National Police announced in September that two million undocumented foreign nationals would be expelled from the country by the end of 2024.
