Afghanistan Business Visa

A business visa is issued to visitors living in countries where there is a foreign mission. Such persons don’t have to wait until they get to Kabul to obtain arrival visas. This visa is strictly for commercial purposes and is supposed to be a short term visa. It remains unknown whether the holder can extend it by a few more weeks or months due to limited information.

Holders can use it to attend meetings, conferences, provide professional services in Afghanistan or visit for investments. However, the purpose of the trip must be clearly stated in their application.

Port of Entry

Airports: Mazar I Sharif International Airport – Kabul International Airport – Herat International Airport.

Border Crossings: Afghanistan – Pakistan border, Afghanistan – Iran border, Afghanistan – Turkmenistan border, Afghanistan – Tajikistan border, Afghanistan – Uzbekistan border, Afghanistan – China border.
