Do I need a visa for Afghanistan from Maldives?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Maldivian nationals must obtain a visa before travelling to Afghanistan; visa-on-arrival is not guaranteed.
There is no visa-waiver agreement between the Maldives and Afghanistan, so Maldivian travellers arrange their visa ahead of time, either at the nearest competent Afghan mission or through the official electronic portal depending on their nationality. Because precise fees and timelines are not confirmed here, rely on the official source.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, a visa is required for every holder of a Maldivian passport, even for a short tourist stay. Visa-free entry is not provided, and the passport must retain at least six months of validity at the time of application and of entry into Afghanistan.
How and where to apply
The Maldives does not host an Afghan embassy, so Maldivian applicants lodge their file at the nearest competent Afghan diplomatic mission, or use the official e-visa portal of Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs where it is available. Confirm the exact submission method with the official source before starting the process.
Documents and fees
Gather a passport valid for at least six months, a completed form, compliant passport photos and evidence of accommodation or travel plans. As the fee amount is not confirmed, check the official tariff before paying anything.
Processing and tips
Processing can take from a few days to several weeks depending on the mission and the option chosen. Plan well ahead, account for flight connections from Male, and check any health requirements tied to your route. Always keep digital copies of your file.
Common mistakes
Avoid presenting a passport that is too close to expiry or non-compliant photos, and remember to check the visa's validity once issued. Do not finalise non-refundable bookings until the visa is granted, and do not rely on unofficial intermediaries for fee information.
