The vast majority arrived in the UK after the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Unfortunately, world politics have stood in the way of connecting those expats with family and friends at home, as Iran remains heavily sanctioned.<\/p><h3>Sanctions and Iran<\/h3><p>As an active member of the United Nations, the United Kingdom abided by sanctions implemented against Iran, which prohibited many types of financial transactions between the two countries. This included private money transfers from the UK to Iran.<\/p><p>In July 2015, UK, France, Germany, Russia, China and USA and Iran reached a comprehensive agreement on Iran&#8217;s nuclear programme. This concluded over a decade of negotiations between the international community and Iran and culminated in the signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPoA), otherwise known as the Iran Nuclear Deal. Through the successful implementation of this deal, if Iran could demonstrate its commitment to an exclusively peaceful nuclear programme, most financial and economic sanctions against Iran would be lifted. The goal was for the International Atomic Energy Agency to verify that Iran had completed all necessary steps by Implementation Day, 16 January 2016.<\/p><h3>Can I send money to Iran?<\/h3><p>Prior to the lifting of sanctions in January 2016, transfer of funds between Iran and the UK was not illegal but required approval from HM Treasury depending on the purpose and value of transfer. However, authorisations were routinely granted and individuals were not unreasonably denied permission.<\/p><p>Because of the complications that arose with trading with Iran over the past few years, there are no UK registered money exchange companies that service Iran. Therefore, Iranians are forced to use Iranian money exchange companies which do not have a UK bank account. Therefore, they operate by receiving Rials in Iran into their Iranian bank accounts, then directing buyers outside of Iran to deposit pounds into the intended recipient&#8217;s account. <\/p><p>This is how third party and cash deposits are made into bank accounts in the UK, which lead to suspicions of money laundering connections with Iran.<\/p><div class=\"did-you-know u-bg--sky-subtle u-rounded--lg\" data-component=\"did-you-know\">\n        <div class=\"did-you-know__block\">\n        <h4 class=\"did-you-know__title\">\n            <span class=\"did-you-know__title-icon\">\n                <svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <circle cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"12\" fill=\"#00B2FF\"\/>\n                    <path d=\"M17.5 22.5C17.5 22.7967 17.412 23.0867 17.2472 23.3334C17.0824 23.58 16.8481 23.7723 16.574 23.8858C16.2999 23.9993 15.9983 24.0291 15.7074 23.9712C15.4164 23.9133 15.1491 23.7704 14.9393 23.5607C14.7296 23.3509 14.5867 23.0836 14.5288 22.7926C14.471 22.5017 14.5007 22.2001 14.6142 21.926C14.7277 21.6519 14.92 21.4176 15.1667 21.2528C15.4133 21.088 15.7033 21 16 21C16.3978 21 16.7794 21.158 17.0607 21.4393C17.342 21.7206 17.5 22.1022 17.5 22.5ZM16 9C13.2425 9 11 11.0188 11 13.5V14C11 14.2652 11.1054 14.5196 11.2929 14.7071C11.4804 14.8946 11.7348 15 12 15C12.2652 15 12.5196 14.8946 12.7071 14.7071C12.8946 14.5196 13 14.2652 13 14V13.5C13 12.125 14.3463 11 16 11C17.6538 11 19 12.125 19 13.5C19 14.875 17.6538 16 16 16C15.7348 16 15.4804 16.1054 15.2929 16.2929C15.1054 16.4804 15 16.7348 15 17V18C15 18.2652 15.1054 18.5196 15.2929 18.7071C15.4804 18.8946 15.7348 19 16 19C16.2652 19 16.5196 18.8946 16.7071 18.7071C16.8946 18.5196 17 18.2652 17 18V17.91C19.28 17.4913 21 15.6725 21 13.5C21 11.0188 18.7575 9 16 9ZM29 16C29 18.5712 28.2376 21.0846 26.8091 23.2224C25.3807 25.3603 23.3503 27.0265 20.9749 28.0104C18.5995 28.9944 15.9856 29.2518 13.4638 28.7502C10.9421 28.2486 8.6257 27.0105 6.80762 25.1924C4.98953 23.3743 3.75141 21.0579 3.2498 18.5362C2.74819 16.0144 3.00563 13.4006 3.98957 11.0251C4.97351 8.64968 6.63975 6.61935 8.77759 5.1909C10.9154 3.76244 13.4288 3 16 3C19.4467 3.00364 22.7512 4.37445 25.1884 6.81163C27.6256 9.24882 28.9964 12.5533 29 16ZM27 16C27 13.8244 26.3549 11.6977 25.1462 9.88873C23.9375 8.07979 22.2195 6.66989 20.2095 5.83733C18.1995 5.00476 15.9878 4.78692 13.854 5.21136C11.7202 5.6358 9.76021 6.68345 8.22183 8.22183C6.68345 9.7602 5.63581 11.7202 5.21137 13.854C4.78693 15.9878 5.00477 18.1995 5.83733 20.2095C6.66989 22.2195 8.07979 23.9375 9.88873 25.1462C11.6977 26.3549 13.8244 27 16 27C18.9164 26.9967 21.7123 25.8367 23.7745 23.7745C25.8367 21.7123 26.9967 18.9164 27 16Z\" fill=\"#232320\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"did-you-know__title-text\">What is money laundering?<\/span>\n        <\/h4>\n        <div class=\"did-you-know__content\">\n            <p>Money laundering is any activity in which funds are illegally obtained, then their source or destination is concealed. Money laundering, along with tax evasion, are illegal under English law. The specific laws about what constitutes money laundering and its prosecution may differ. However, if convicted of money laundering crimes, you may face years in prison and significant fines.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>What other options do I have?<\/h3><p>One option, though a risky one, is to send Bitcoins. This electronic currency is accepted for use in Iran and can be converted into Iranian Rial. Bitcoin does not have any central monetary authority and is based on a peer-to-peer computer network. You can send Bitcoins to other users across the Internet if you have the appropriate software installed, but there are also several exchanges that allow you to trade it for regular currency.<\/p><p>However, the legal implications of sending Bitcoins to Iran are unclear. Once again, the last thing you want to do is get yourself in trouble with the authorities, so obtaining legal advice or an advisory from the Office of Foreign Assets Control is essential before going any further.<\/p><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>If in doubt as to whether you can send money to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/international-money-transfers\/view-all-countries\">sanctioned country<\/a>, always assume that transferring funds from the UK to a sanctioned nation is illegal unless a lawyer tells you otherwise.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sending money to Iran is not straightforward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":645,"featured_media":33875,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129660],"tags":[],"asset_tag":[],"class_list":["post-5751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-send-money-internationally"],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.9 (Yoast SEO v24.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is it legal to send money from the UK to Iran | Finder UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Find out whether you can send money overseas to Iran.
