Guide last updated August 15, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport: Must be valid for at least six months beyond the intended period of stay.
  • Application Form: Completed online application via the e-visa portal.
  • Financial Proof: While not explicitly stated with a specific amount for tourist visas, it is advisable to carry sufficient funds for your stay. For business or work visas, sponsorship letters and financial guarantees from the inviting entity are usually required.
  • Accommodation and Return Ticket: Proof of confirmed accommodation and a return or onward journey ticket are generally required. You may be asked to present these at the border.
  • Photo: A recent digital photograph meeting standard passport photo specifications (usually 35x45mm, white background, neutral expression).
  • Biometrics: Biometric data (fingerprints and photograph) may be collected upon arrival at certain points of entry, or as part of a future application process if a sticker visa is required. Currently, the e-visa process does not explicitly mention upfront biometric collection.
  • Travel Health Insurance: While not always a mandatory document for visa application, comprehensive travel health insurance covering medical emergencies and repatriation is strongly recommended due to the current security situation and limited healthcare facilities.

  • VFS/BLS Service Fee: Not applicable for the e-visa system.

  • Standard Processing Time: For e-visas, the standard processing time is estimated to be 5-10 working days. However, it can take longer, especially during peak periods or due to security assessments.
  • Express/Priority Option: There is no officially advertised express or priority service for the e-visa. Applying with ample time is crucial.

Tips for Andorra travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: It is highly recommended to apply for your Afghan visa at least 3-4 weeks before your intended travel date to allow for processing and potential delays.
  • Common rejection reasons for Andorra applicants specifically: While there are no specific reasons targeting Andorra, general reasons for visa rejection include incomplete or inaccurate application forms, insufficient supporting documents, lack of clear travel purpose, insufficient funds, and security concerns.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: Currently, the primary method for obtaining an Afghan visa for most nationalities is through the e-visa system. Direct applications at an embassy might be an option for specific circumstances or visa types, but the e-visa portal is the most accessible and recommended route.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: Andorra citizens should consult their Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan for the latest travel advisories and security situation updates for Afghanistan. Bilateral relations between Andorra and Afghanistan are limited, and there are no specific bilateral visa agreements that would alter standard requirements.
  • Extension options inside Afghanistan: Visa extensions are generally difficult to obtain and are often granted only in exceptional circumstances by the relevant Afghan authorities. It is best to ensure your initial visa allows for the intended duration of your stay. If an extension is absolutely necessary, you would need to contact the relevant government departments within Afghanistan.
