How to apply for an Afghan Visa
Anyone traveling to Afghanistan needs to obtain a valid visa from an Afghan diplomatic mission outside of Afghanistan before travel. This procedure can however be quite challenging because there is limited information available online regarding the process. We can assist with this and specialize in processing work related visas for individuals traveling to Afghanistan. In the following, we will try to give a detailed overview of the whole process from start to end.
The process of obtaining an Afghan visa
There are basically two types of visas for people traveling to Afghanistan for work and the process can be divided into two-steps, where the first step (Invitation Letter) is handled in Kabul and the second step (Visa Processing) is handled in Dubai.
Step 1: An Invitation Letter is applied through the Central Business Registry and then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Kabul. Upon approval, MOFA sends the Invitation Letter to the Afghan Consulate in Dubai where the visa is processed.
The requirements needed to apply for an Invitation Letter in Kabul are as follows:
BSA visa agreements – 12 Month multiple entry visas for Military prime or sub-contractors for U.S. DOD or NATO.
- One request letter per batch on contractor letterhead listing your employee names, passport numbers, nationalities and your authorized agent
- Color copy of CBR business license
- Color copy of passports of all employees
- Letter of Authorization (LOA) for each applicant – either from DOD SPOT or NATO NSPA/NCI
- One NATO Contractor Certificate from Resolute Support HQ
Non-military contractors – 30 days single entry visa
The requirements are similar to the above, except instead of a NATO Contractor Certificate, employee LOA and company photo ID, these documents are required:
- Applicant’s educational certificate (i.e., university diploma)
- Applicant’s CV or resume
- Applicant’s employee contract
Note: Once the applicant is in Afghanistan, a 1-year work permit is obtained, followed by a 6-month work visa, which is renewable for another 6 months.
Step 2: The individual applying for the visa needs to visit the Afghan consulate in person to process the visa, once the Invitation Letter is issued.
The requirements needed to process the visa at the Afghan consulate in Dubai are as follows:
BSA visa agreements – 12 Month multiple entry visas for Military prime or sub-contractors for U.S. DOD or NATO.
- Invitation letter including a list of the names, nationalities and passport numbers of all employees applying for visas together with an invitation letter number
- One filled visa application form per applicant
- Passport size photo for each applicant
- Original passport valid for at least 12 months
- Color copy of the biographical page of the passport
- Letter of Authorization (LOA) for each applicant
- Color copy of valid CBR business license
Non-military contractors – 30 days single entry visa
In addition to the above (excluding LOA), applicants require the below:
- Original passport valid for at least 6 months, instead of 12 months
- Request letter directed to the Afghan consulate
