Do I need a visa for Afghanistan from Moldova?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Moldovan citizens must obtain a consular visa to enter Afghanistan. The application is made in advance at an Afghan mission.
Afghanistan does not exempt Moldovan nationals from the visa requirement and offers no visa on arrival. As Chisinau hosts no Afghan mission, Moldovan travellers approach the competent Afghan embassy or consulate, usually in a neighbouring country. A passport valid for at least six months beyond entry is required.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Moldovan citizens are subject to a prior visa requirement for Afghanistan, with no exemption agreement with Kabul. The tourist visa must be issued before travel, as no reliable arrival formality is guaranteed.
How and where to apply
With no Afghan mission in Chisinau, applications are lodged with the Afghan embassy or consulate accredited to Moldova, often located in a neighbouring country. Get in touch beforehand to confirm the competent jurisdiction, the required form, and whether you apply in person or by post.
Documents and fees
Carry a passport valid for six months or more, recent passport photos, a completed application form, and proof of accommodation or an invitation. The consular fee is not published here and should be confirmed directly with the Afghan mission, as it varies by visa duration and type.
Processing and tips
Processing times are not guaranteed and can be lengthy, so submit your file several weeks in advance. Check health requirements, including any yellow-fever certificate, and review the latest travel advice for Moldovan citizens before departure.
Common mistakes
Do not book non-refundable flights before you have the visa. Avoid a passport near expiry and non-compliant photos. Do not assume a visa on arrival: none exists for Moldovan travellers on this route.
