Hi, before one week a came back from Iranian border. Its sadly true. No motorbikes above 250ccm. No discussion. You can parked motorbike at a border, its no problem,and go to Iran, but only without your bike.

There are definitely some bikers who entered the last days. Mostly from Kapikoy ( Turkey to Iran ) close to Van lake. |
Klaus, I know what you are writing is true, but I think a few more words will help people coming to this thread and clarify how things are going.
I will try to summarize a bit... Until march this year, the 250 cc law (which existed since years) was never applied. People with right documents (carnet and visa) continued to enter on big bikes with zero problems. There was not a single report of people being refused. Since april 2019 things changed. A lot of people have been rejected because of engines bigger than 250 cc. Some decided not to enter. Some left their bikes at the border. Some others putted their bikes on sealed trucks and crossed with other means of transport. Some others tried their luck at different border post. Some managed to enter. There are a lot of discussions regarding different plan Bs (pre-organized transit, trucks, etc etc) around the web: some can be true, some others no. So, situation is changing and it looks very volatile. If someone asks me the folloowing question: "Is it possible to enter Iran now on a big bike?" I have not one clear answer. The right answer is: it is possible, but it is no more as easy as it was and things are changing quickly. My advise to people who wants to travel in that direction would be: -Are you a traveller with a lot of time, who already applied for Iran visa and you have carnet? Definitely give it a try at different borders and I'm very confident you will get in. -Are you a traveller with 4 free weeks and want to vistit/cross Iran, but you have no visa or carnet yet? (btw, this is my situation, as for now) Well...think about it, try, if you want, and if you can take the risk of throwing away some money, but...is this your only 4 free weeks this year? It's up to you. As for me, I will probably decide to reorganize myself and leave Iran for the future, when I hope things will be more clear and definite, but if someone wants to try, it is not a definitive NO, at the moment. Things can change quickly again, for the better or fot the worst... |

And that is not right. You are right and your summary is good. I think we have to wait a bit and it will change, but we will see which way. Either it gets harder or easier. |
Please give me some names of people who goes to iran with big bikes after 25.4.2019. I spend six hour on the border, of course i have carnet and visa. On the border is new parking place for a big bikes, when i arrived was here five motorbikes from germany and italy. After six hour of discussion, i say ok not with motorbikes and go to iran by walk, take a taxi and go to Tabriz rent a car. This is not a problem. But from 20.4.2019, its not possible go to iran with motorbikes more then 250ccm. Only transit, but no on your motorbikes, only on the truck with bikes as a sealed cargo.
Dont say that isnt true because some people can trust you and that is not good, because it is true. |
And when i leave iranian border, i stopped two bikers and say them a problem. Guys from Turkey and they say me - its your problem because you are from european union, we are from Turkey, we havent problem. I say ok, but i wait because I was interested and I had time. One hour and they drive back and say me, fu#ck it, for everyone. This is one week old thing.

go on facebook and either join the group HUBB or some Overlander in Asia / Overlander in iran groups. You can find some posts there of people which got definitely into Iran with bikes bigger 250cc. Even 2 days ago some entered. And it is not just 2 people getting in, its a lot. But most problems occur in Bazargan Again, it is not true what you write. |
Ok let say it's possible to enter with Carnet and visa but we have another problem: our car association doesn't want to give us Carnet for Iran. They stoped after april 16 also like German Adac.
|
The german ADAC for sure issued after April 16.
You can always apply for a carnet, just dont say it is for iran. They might refuse it that they dont get any problems when you cannot enter Iran. But they know it is sometimes possible and as long as you don't directly ask for Iran, you get it. It is the same group as Pakistan, India or Egypt. |
Okay, if its true, my multiple visa and carnet still valid. Maybe you are experienced traveller then me, please can you help me? Can you post some link to facebook to people who arrived to iran after 25.4.2019? I cant found anybody after this date. Before, not problem, but after i cant find it. Please help, thanks.
