The Center for Foreign Nationals and Immigrants Affairs at Iran’s Ministry of Interior has announced that nearly 700 Afghan specialist and subspecialist doctors are currently working in hospitals across Iran.

Naderyar Ahmadi, head of the center, stated that in recent years, many Afghan migrants residing in Iran, including educated individuals, have been able to access necessary services through obtaining special cards issued by service-providing institutions.

He emphasized that an "Employment Atlas" has been developed, outlining specific professions where Iranian employers can utilize foreign labor to address their needs.
He said: "Nearly 700 Afghan doctors are working in Iran, providing invaluable services."

YarAhmadi also addressed the issue of undocumented migrants, noting: "Over the past three years, three million undocumented migrants have been deported from Iran."

He urged Afghan citizens to establish their legal residency in Iran by obtaining passports and securing visas, stating that this measure would prevent illegal border issues and related complications.

Iran is one of the largest host countries for Afghan migrants. According to available figures, millions of Afghans live in Iran, many of whom migrated due to economic and security challenges in Afghanistan. Despite restrictions, skilled Afghan labor, particularly in the healthcare sector, has played a significant role in meeting Iran’s needs.
