A Unique Expat Experience in Iran

Iran is a country of almost unparalleled history and culture. With a hugely diverse landscape, spanning arid deserts, lush forests, and huge mountain ranges, Iran is breathtakingly beautiful, and is also dotted with stunning architecture from a variety of historical periods. Thanks to the urban nature of Iranian culture, expatriates may find the country to be surprisingly liberal, but it can still be a challenging place to settle down in. That's where InterNations can help, offering you an easy way to connect with other international people living in Iran both online and offline. The expatriates who currently live in Iran mostly work in the oil and gas industries, which dominate the economy of the republic. Although a challenging country sometimes, those intending to live and work in Iran will find a fascinating nation filled with beauty and culture, and adapting to many things may be easier than first believed.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Kuwait or India, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

The Local Network for Expats in Iran

InterNations members are all go through a careful approval process, meaning that you can be sure of a good discussion every time you visit our forums or attend one of our events. With members from all sorts of national, linguistic, and employment backgrounds, you'll be amazed at the culturally rich experience you can have as a member of our international community. Once you have joined InterNations, had your most pressing questions answered, and have actually made the move to Iran, you might even want to take things offline: our members also organize a wide variety of activities within various interest-based groups. There are groups for culture and the arts, dining, hiking, and many more. Join InterNations and start your Iranian adventure today!
