United States ✈️ Afghanistan

Important Notes

Visitors born in Afghanistan do not require a visa. All visitors are required to register with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs upon arrival. The U.S. government forced all Afghan diplomatic missions in the U.S. to close in March 2022. Applicants must now obtain a visa from a mission in another country. Since 2024, the Taliban only accepts visas issued by approved diplomatic missions, though those who have already entered on a visa issued by another mission are allowed to stay. The U.S. government advises its citizens not to visit Afghanistan due to civil unrest, crime, terrorism, risk of wrongful detention, kidnapping, and limited health facilities. U.S. citizens in Afghanistan are urged to depart immediately via commercial means if possible.
