Fees & processing time

  • Please note that specific e-visa fees and processing times are not explicitly detailed on the official Chad Embassy website (https://www.ambassade-tchad.org/) as an e-visa portal is not clearly available. The following are estimates based on traditional visa fees:
  • Visa fee:

  • Express/priority option: An express e-visa option is not currently specified, but applicants are advised to check directly with the Embassy of Chad for any expedited processing availability for traditional visas.

Tips for Afghanistan travelers

  • Please be aware that while the database indicates an e-visa for Chad, the official portal does not currently support an online e-visa application for Afghanistan citizens, and a traditional visa application process is generally required through an embassy or consulate. The following tips are provided with this context:
  • How far in advance to apply: It is recommended to apply for your visa (whether e-visa or traditional) at least 2-3 weeks before your intended travel date to allow for processing and any potential delays, especially since the e-visa process for Chad is not fully transparent on the official portal.
  • Common rejection reasons for Afghanistan applicants specifically:
  • Incomplete or inaccurate application form or missing documents.
  • Insufficient funds to cover the duration of stay.
  • Lack of confirmed return ticket or adequate accommodation proof.
  • Passport not meeting the required validity (e.g., less than six months remaining).
  • Discrepancies in submitted documents or information.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: This distinction is typically for sticker visas. For an e-visa, you would apply directly online. If an e-visa is not available, then application would be via a Chad embassy or consulate, as Chad does not currently utilize third-party visa application centers like VFS Global or BLS International.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: Afghanistan citizens should consult official travel advisories from their home government and the latest information from the Embassy of Chad regarding travel restrictions, safety concerns, or specific entry requirements.
  • Extension options inside Chad: Visa extensions in Chad are generally possible but require applying to the Directorate of Immigration in N'Djamena before your current visa expires. Requirements typically include a letter of explanation, passport, new proof of funds, and a fee. Early application is advised.
