Visa for Afghanistan from Grenada: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. Grenadian nationals must hold an Afghan visa before boarding their flight. The visa is issued by the competent embassy or consulate of Afghanistan, sometimes through an application centre it designates. The visa category depends on the purpose of the trip (tourism, business, family visit), so state it clearly when you first make contact.

The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.

• Government feeNot published in a source we can verify

  Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.

• Application centre feeVariable, set by the operator

  Only when the post uses an external centre. The amount is set locally and we do not publish a figure we cannot verify.

• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

  Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.

• ExtrasVariable

  Courier return, SMS tracking, compliant photo, insurance, sworn translation or legalisation, depending on what the post requires.

We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.

A standard file includes a valid passport, the application form, passport photos meeting the embassy’s requirements, and proof of accommodation, financial means and travel insurance. A flight reservation may also be requested. No amount is given here: the visa fee and accepted payment methods are provided by the embassy or consulate.

Start by identifying the Afghan mission responsible for your place of residence; depending on the case, it may be located outside Grenada. Contact it to confirm the current procedure, then book an appointment. On the day, hand in the completed and signed application form, your passport and supporting documents, and pay the fee as instructed.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Grenada, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Grenada but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing times vary by mission and time of year; they are not specified here, so ask the embassy when you apply. Do not buy your plane tickets before the visa has been granted, and make do with a changeable reservation in the meantime. Keep a copy of every document you submit and read your government’s official travel advice for Afghanistan before finalising your itinerary.

Incomplete files, non-compliant photos and inconsistent dates between the form, the accommodation booking and the itinerary are among the most common causes of delay. Another pitfall is relying on outdated information found on forums or paying an unofficial intermediary. Only the Afghan embassy and consulate are authoritative on the current conditions.
