Afghanistan is a landlocked nation in Central and South Asia known for its mountainous terrain, ancient Silk Road heritage, and complex modern history. The capital Kabul and historic cities like Herat and Mazar-i-Sharif contain remnants of Buddhist, Persian, and Islamic civilizations. Current travel to Afghanistan faces significant security challenges and most foreign governments advise against all travel. Consular services are extremely limited and the situation remains highly fluid.

Visa Requirements for Afghanistan

All foreign nationals require a visa to enter Afghanistan. Due to the current political situation, visa procedures and consular services have been severely disrupted. Previously, visitors applied through Afghan embassies or consulates abroad, submitting passport photographs, completed application forms, and invitation letters or sponsorship documentation. Tourist visas were rarely issued, with most permits granted for humanitarian work, diplomatic missions, or essential business. Travelers must verify current procedures with the nearest Afghan diplomatic mission and consult their own government's travel advisories before making any plans.
