    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.
