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

Yes. As a Myanmar citizen you must hold a visa before entering Afghanistan, including for a tourist stay. There is no exemption and no visa on arrival for Myanmar nationals, so the process must be completed before you travel. Treat the visa as a mandatory step in your preparation.

Gather a Myanmar passport valid for at least 6 months on the date of entry, the application form, compliant passport photos and the usual supporting documents (purpose of travel, accommodation, itinerary or a possible invitation letter). The fee amount and the exact document list are not set here: they depend on the Afghan mission and must be confirmed with it before any payment.

Applications are lodged with the Afghan embassy or consulate responsible for Myanmar. As no Afghan mission sits in the country, you will need to identify the regional post that handles Myanmar files, or use the official online portal where it is offered. Contact it first to confirm the submission method, appointment booking and passport collection.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Myanmar, 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 Myanmar 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 time is not guaranteed and depends on the post you use; ask for a current estimate at first contact. Allow several weeks if your documents must be sent to another country. Also check the health entry requirements and review your government's travel advice, as the situation in Afghanistan remains sensitive.

Do not travel without a visa hoping to regularise on arrival: boarding may be refused. Do not assume a neighbouring embassy will accept your file without prior confirmation. Make sure the form details match the passport exactly and that its validity does not fall below the required 6 months.
