Discover visa requirements for your trip
Cape Verdean citizens need a tourist visa to travel to Afghanistan. No visa-free entry or issuance at the border is provided.
Designed for travellers from Cape Verde, this guide sets out the steps for a tourist visit to Afghanistan. The country applies a consular regime: the application is lodged at an Afghan embassy or consulate. As precise fees and timelines are not fixed here, rely on the official source before booking.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A tourist visa obtained beforehand is required for Cape Verdean citizens, with no exemption available. Your passport must stay valid for at least six months after your intended entry date.
How and where to apply
As Cape Verde does not necessarily host an Afghan mission, applicants turn to the Afghan embassy or consulate accredited to the archipelago. An official online portal, where offered, can sometimes let you begin the formalities. Establish in advance which mission is competent and any partner tasked with receiving files.
Documents and fees
Build a file with a passport valid for six months or more, a completed form, recent passport photos and, often, proof of itinerary or an invitation. The fee amount is not specified here, so consult the applicable official tariff. The exact document list may change from one mission to another.
Processing and tips
Processing time varies, so submit your application well before departure. Also check the authorities' travel advisories, as Afghanistan ranks among high-risk destinations. Keep a copy of all documents you provide.
Common mistakes
The most common error is counting on visa-free entry. It is followed by a passport with too short a validity, a late application, an incomplete file, and overlooking health requirements such as yellow fever. Check each of these points against the official source.
