## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Indian ordinary passports: Afghanistan advance visitor visa** (Visa required)
  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.
