  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: For Afghanistan, the primary application method for most nationalities is the e-visa portal. Direct embassy applications might be an option for specific circumstances or visa types not covered by the e-visa system. Check the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for the latest information.
  • Current travel advisories: It is crucial to check current travel advisories issued by your government regarding Afghanistan before planning your trip. The security situation can change rapidly.
  • Extension options inside Afghanistan: Visa extensions are possible within Afghanistan but are subject to approval by the relevant immigration authorities. It is advisable to apply for an extension well before your current visa expires. You will likely need to visit a local immigration office in Kabul or another major city.
