Candidates attending international exams are eligible to apply for foreign currency at the official rate, the Central Bank of Iran said in a letter to the National Organization of Educational Testing. “In the letter, CBI has announced that the 42,000-rial dollar could be allocated to those seeking to sit international exams,” the NOET head, Ebrahim Khodaei, said on Monday.
