Discover visa requirements for your trip
Sudanese nationals must obtain a visa before travelling to Afghanistan: the Sudan passport does not allow visa-free entry.
Afghanistan applies a consular regime to travellers from Sudan. The tourist visa is requested before leaving Khartoum, through an Afghan diplomatic mission, or online if the e-visa portal is open. The Sudanese passport must stay valid for at least six months beyond the intended entry date.
Is a visa required?
Yes. A Sudanese citizen cannot enter Afghanistan without a visa obtained in advance; there is no exemption and no visa on arrival for this passport. The visa must cover the entire planned tourist stay.
How and where to apply
The application is filed at the Afghan embassy or consulate responsible for Sudan, or through the official e-visa portal when it is accessible to residents. Given the shifting diplomatic services in the region, check with the mission beforehand which filing channel is active and which documents are required.
Documents and fees
Gather a Sudanese passport valid for at least six months, recent passport photos, the completed application form, plus proof of accommodation and a travel itinerary. The consular fee is not fixed here: rely on the official rate stated by the Afghan mission at the time of filing.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not specified and can vary by mission, so start the process several weeks before departure. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be required, in particular for travellers leaving Sudan or transiting an endemic area; also review current security advisories.
Common mistakes
Refusals often come from a passport with too little validity, a poorly completed form, or an application sent too late. Do not anticipate a visa on arrival: it is not issued to Sudanese nationals.
