Do I need a visa for Afghanistan from Marshall Islands?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Marshallese citizens must obtain a consular visa for Afghanistan. The application is made in advance at an Afghan mission, as none is present in Majuro.
Afghanistan does not exempt nationals of the Marshall Islands from the visa requirement and offers no visa on arrival. With a small Marshallese diplomatic network and no Afghan mission in Majuro, travellers must approach the competent Afghan embassy or consulate located abroad. A passport valid for at least six months beyond entry is required.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Marshallese citizens are subject to a prior visa requirement for Afghanistan, with no exemption agreement with Kabul. The tourist visa must be obtained before departure, as arrival guarantees no formality.
How and where to apply
With no Afghan mission in Majuro, applications go to the Afghan mission accredited to the Marshall Islands, often based in a third country in the Asia-Pacific region. 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 depends on the duration and type of visa.
Processing and tips
Processing times are not guaranteed, and geographic distance can complicate the steps, so plan several weeks ahead. Check health requirements, including any yellow-fever certificate, and find out what consular assistance is available, often provided by a partner country given the limited Marshallese network.
Common mistakes
Do not book non-refundable flights before you have the visa. Do not start the process too late given the distances and postal handling involved. Do not rely on a visa on arrival: none exists for Marshallese citizens on this route.
