Georgia, Azerbaijan and Dagestan have agreements with Russia on visa-free stay of citizens of the Russian Federation within 90 days. To visit Georgia and Azerbaijan, only a passport is needed, but to enter Iran you need a visa that must be issued in advance in the diplomatic missions of Iran: at the consular department of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Moscow or at the Consulate General of Iran in Kazan and Astrakhan.

Consular fee for a single tourist visa - 2 200 RUB, for urgency - 3 300 RUB. For an urgent visa, you need to provide its justification - for example, an air ticket, and pass an interview. Then, instead of the standard four working days for issuing a visa, the term for its processing can be reduced to three hours from the moment of filing.

A tourist visa entitles you to stay in Iran for up to four weeks, the validity period is two months from the date of issue.
