Is it legal to take drone shots in Iran?
Iran is a beautiful country and many tourists like to take beautiful drone shots. But is it legal to take drone shots.
For taking drone shots you need to get permission from the Ministry of Culture and the police department. And you have to clarify when and where you are going to use it. you will be able to get a permission if it can be classified as “for entertainment purposes”
You have to specify:
– The weight of the drone.
– The maximum altitude.
– The flight radius.
– The maximum flight time.
It’s essential to have this written permission and without it, whatever you do is considered illegal and there would be certain consequences. You should be careful because the punishment might range from a mere fine to actual jail time.
The unofficial answer is, if you’re in the middle of the desert it’s not noticeable. But whatever you want to do though: do not fly over Tehran or near military bases. This is just asking for trouble!
