You live in Afghanistan on another passport?

Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Common mistakes
The costliest mistake is using an intermediary website that presents itself as official and charges extra fees: make sure you are on the immigration.gov.ag domain before entering any personal data. Another pitfall is counting on a visa on arrival, which is not available to citizens of Afghanistan. Finally, a typo in the passport number or travel dates can hold up the file, so check everything before submitting.
