Discover visa requirements for your trip
Malagasy citizens must obtain a consular visa before travelling to Afghanistan. There is no visa on arrival on this route.
Afghanistan grants Malagasy nationals neither an exemption nor a visa on arrival. As Antananarivo hosts no Afghan mission, Malagasy travellers lodge their applications with the competent Afghan embassy or consulate, often on another continent. A passport valid for at least six months beyond entry is essential.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Malagasy citizens are subject to a prior visa requirement for Afghanistan, with no exemption agreement with Kabul. The tourist visa must be issued before boarding, as arrival guarantees no formality.
How and where to apply
With no Afghan mission in Antananarivo, applications go to the Afghan mission accredited to Madagascar, which may be located in a third country. Contact it ahead of time to confirm its jurisdiction, the required form, and whether you apply in person or by post, which may mean mailing your passport.
Documents and fees
Prepare 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 the distance to the competent mission may lengthen them, so plan several weeks ahead. Check health requirements, notably a yellow-fever vaccination certificate often required of travellers coming from Madagascar, and review travel advice 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 rely on a visa on arrival, and do not forget the yellow-fever certificate, which is frequently checked at entry.
