    French ordinary passports: named advance visa routes

    Current official material establishes advance mission processing or issuance for each listed French ordinary-passport visitor route.

    • AF: single-entry visas are issued by Afghanistan’s Embassy in France. KP: visa available through the DPRK General Delegation in France. LY: visa before arrival. SD: prior visa. SY: Syrian diplomatic or consular representation issues the visa. CG: obtain before departure; no arrival visa. SS: airlines may refuse boarding without a pre-departure visa and France-based applicants use the Paris embassy. CF: the CAR Paris Embassy processes the passport and short-stay application. GQ: no arrival visa and the Paris embassy states required documents. GW: French applications go to the Guinea-Bissau Embassy in Paris; its exceptional Bissau-airport route is not the standard France-resident route. LR: France residents apply through the Liberian Embassy. ML: Mali consulates in Paris or Lyon issue it; no arrival visa. NE: prior visa only; no arrival visa. NG: portal submission is followed by physical dossier submission to OIS Paris for processing.
    • This records ordinary French-passport short-visitor routes only and does not normalize travel warnings, operational access, work, residence, special documents or final admission.

    Dutch ordinary passports: expressly pre-departure mission visas

    Official Dutch guidance establishes a mission application/issuance route before travel for the listed ordinary Dutch-passport visitor cases.

    • AF: apply at Afghanistan's embassy in The Hague. LR: apply at Liberia's embassy in Brussels.
    • BD: the Dutch guidance points to the official portal and Bangladesh Embassy in The Hague; Bangladesh's government portal requires an online form to be printed and taken with documents and fees to a Bangladesh mission or visa office, so the online form is not itself an eVisa.
    • This excludes work, residence, transit, special documents and final admission.

    Moldovan ordinary passports: named advance consular visitor visas

    Moldova MFA's current ordinary-passport table requires a visa and identifies diplomatic missions as the obtaining method for these destinations.

    • Apply through the relevant diplomatic mission and obtain the visitor visa before departure; this is an advance consular route, not an inference from generic visa wording.
    • Mission operation, invitation requirements, Syrian and Afghan governmental-transition issues, closures, routes through Transnistria, special documents and final admission remain separate.

    Turkish ordinary passports: Afghanistan advance visitor visa

    Türkiye’s Foreign Ministry currently directs Turkish citizens travelling to Afghanistan to obtain the purpose-appropriate visa, including tourist visas, from Afghanistan’s Ankara Embassy or Istanbul Consulate before travel.

    • This is a nationality-specific Turkish-citizen short-visitor rule: obtain the appropriate visa, including a tourist visa, from Afghanistan’s Embassy in Ankara or Consulate General in Istanbul before travel.
    • The current Ankara mission page lists normal processing as five business days and express processing as one day. This timing is service-specific and not a guarantee of issuance.
    • This does not establish visa-free, eVisa, visa-on-arrival, diplomatic/service-passport, Afghan-origin, residence, third-country-document, work, transit, or final-admission treatment.

    Kuwaiti ordinary passports: advance embassy visa destinations

    Kuwait's current government table directs ordinary Kuwaiti passport holders to obtain an embassy-issued visa before visiting these destinations.

    • Ordinary Kuwaiti passport and short visitor travel; apply through the relevant embassy before departure, with final issuance and admission remaining discretionary.

    Palestinian ordinary passports: 2026 advance-visa visitor cohort

    The State of Palestine's current ordinary-passport schedule labels this exact destination cohort "Visa is required" and separately labels electronic and arrival-issued routes elsewhere in the same schedule. It is normalized as advance visa required.

    • This is the Ministry's ordinary-passport short-visitor baseline. The source separately labels eVisa and visa-on-arrival rows, so a bare "Visa is required" row is not recast as either route.
    • Georgia and Panama have separately stated waivers for holders of specified third-country visas. Those conditional document routes are excluded from this passport-only baseline.
    • Mission availability, passport recognition, individual admission, route, transit, work, residence, diplomatic, official, service and other special-document treatment are outside this policy.

    Seychellois passports: named advance visitor-visa cohort

    Seychelles' July 2025 passport-holder schedule expressly requires these destinations to issue a visa before entry, rather than treating an online form or airport process as the visitor baseline.

    • Applies to the ordinary Seychellois passport short-visitor baseline in the Ministry's current named list.
    • The schedule's wording requires a visa before entry but does not establish an electronic or border-issued route, so this is normalized only as advance visa required.
    • Mission availability, individual grant, document, route, transit, work, residence, diplomatic, official and special-passport treatment remain outside scope.

    Indian ordinary passports: Afghanistan advance visitor visa

    Afghanistan's current Mumbai Consulate requires a visa before travel, expressly excludes Indian citizens from its eVisa route and issues the visitor visa through advance passport processing at the Consulate.

    • Applies to an ordinary Indian passport holder travelling for a short tourist or business visit and applying through the Afghan Consulate in Mumbai.
    • The applicant completes and prints the form, brings the original passport and supporting documents to the Consulate, and later collects the passport with the visa; the page expressly says its electronic-visa route is not for Indian citizens.
    • Afghan dual nationals using a valid Afghan identity card, diplomatic or service documents, work, study, residence, transit, exceptional entry and final admission remain outside scope.

    U.S. ordinary passports: Afghanistan advance visa

    Current U.S. State Department guidance requires U.S. citizens to obtain an Afghan visa before travel and warns that the de facto authorities may reject visas from Republic-era missions they do not recognize.

    • Applies to a U.S. citizen using an ordinary passport for a short visit; U.S. citizens treated as Afghan nationals or travelling on an Afghan passport follow separate rules.
    • The visa must be obtained before travel from a consular authority accepted by the Afghan de facto authorities; some Republic-era mission visas may be refused.
    • The passport must remain valid for at least six months beyond arrival and have a blank page.
    • Security advice, purpose restrictions, registration, carrier checks and final admission remain separate.

    • Applies to a Chinese citizen using an ordinary passport; the cited bilateral visa waiver is limited to diplomatic passports.
    • The Afghan Embassy in China normally issues a single-entry visa permitting a stay of up to 30 days after the applicant supplies the required passport, identity, application and Afghan invitation documents.
