Safavids, according to their political and religious approaches, found out that it is necessary to have relation with the regional and extra-regional countries after establishment and consolidation of the government. They assigned different missions to their governmental agents in order to make connection with the extra-regional friends and to convey their political and military messages under war and peace. The agents continued to do their duties in the other countries in the figures of envoy, ambassador or Ilchi. They should have particular and considerable specifications to achieve their purposes and to do the assigned missions, favorably. The agent's characteristic and his outward appearance should be properly evaluated according to the destination and the mission type. The various conformation framework of diplomatic body should be pondered because of the variety and abundance of the envoys dispatched to different parts of the world in the long kingdom age of Safavids. The present paper attempts to assess the important factors that have been considered in selecting and dispatching the envoys. Moreover, comparative statistics are presented about the envoys of Safavids. Herein, the main question is concerned with the feature of envoys or ambassadors and the plan of their mission. Although the organizational structures were not constructed for the political relations in this era, the findings demonstrate that the envoys should have specific characteristics corresponding to their mission; moreover, they should observe the determined principles in the process of accomplishing the mission. It seems that they confronted to many difficulties in this matter.
