The current government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has just launched, for the first time in the nations history an eVisa platform. The New eVisa platform removes the need to attend a consulate in person (such as Peshawar in Pakistan or Dubai in the United Arab Emirates).
Table of Contents
1. Afghanistan eVisa Application Portal
The link to apply can be found here: https://eafghans.com/e-visa/
2. Important notes
- Currently, you can enter Afghanistan with the eVisa only through Kabul International Airport. The eVisa is not yet accepted at land border crossings.
- However, you can exit Afghanistan anywhere with the eVisa.
- Once the eVisa is issued, you must use it within three months. Once you enter Afghanistan, the visa is valid for 30 days.
- Some fields may not allow for spaces or punctuation marks or numbers. Instead of listing a number (for example, on an address section), you can type it. For example: 1/12 Smith Street can be written as one/twelve Smith Street
- Try to complete the application all at once to avoid losing any information
3. Passport information
Carefully double check your passport dates, including your passport date of issuance and expiry date.
The system can change the dates, so ensure it is correct when reviewing your application before submitting.
