Discover visa requirements for your trip
Mauritian nationals need a visa to travel to Afghanistan; it must be obtained before departure, at an Afghan mission or through the official online portal.
Mauritius has no visa-waiver arrangement with Afghanistan, so Mauritian travellers must arrange their visa in advance, either at a competent Afghan diplomatic mission or through the official electronic portal where it is open to their nationality. Because exact fees and timelines are not confirmed here, always verify them against the official source before booking.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Every holder of a Mauritian passport must obtain a visa before entering Afghanistan, including for a short tourist stay. Visa-free entry is not available, and the passport should be valid for at least six months at the time of both application and entry.
How and where to apply
Afghanistan does not maintain an embassy in Mauritius, so Mauritian applicants generally apply at the nearest competent Afghan diplomatic mission or through the official e-visa portal run by Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Confirm the exact channel — in-person lodgement, postal submission or an online file — with the official source before you begin.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a completed application form, recent passport photographs and proof of accommodation or itinerary. As the consular fee is not confirmed here, rely on the schedule published by the official source before making any payment.
Processing and tips
Processing times vary by mission and by the service tier chosen (standard or express). Submit your file several weeks before travel, check health requirements based on your route, and keep a digital copy of every document. Note that once issued, the visa usually must be used within a limited window.
Common mistakes
The most frequent errors are a passport close to expiry, non-compliant photos, and failing to check the visa's validity after issuance. Do not book non-refundable flights before the visa is in hand, and never rely on unofficial third-party sites for fee information.
