Discover visa requirements for your trip
Citizens of San Marino must obtain a consular tourist visa before travelling to Afghanistan; no visa is issued on arrival.
As San Marino is a microstate with no Afghan consular network on its soil, its nationals request the Afghan visa in advance. The application is lodged with the Afghan embassy accredited to Italy and San Marino, or via the official e-visa portal when open. Carry a passport valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
A visa is mandatory for every Sammarinese traveller: Afghanistan provides no exemption and no visa on arrival for a tourist stay. The visa must be placed in the passport before boarding, otherwise entry is refused.
How and where to apply
With no Afghan mission in San Marino, applicants generally go through the Afghan embassy responsible in Italy or the official e-visa portal. Confirm the lodging point and the procedure first (appointment, postal submission or online entry).
Documents and fees
The file gathers a passport valid for six months, a completed form, recent passport photos and proof of accommodation or itinerary. As the tariff and precise list are not confirmed here, rely on the official Afghan schedule; a yellow-fever certificate may be requested depending on your routing.
Processing and tips
Processing times vary by channel and are not fixed in this guide: verify them at the official source and lodge several weeks ahead. Keep copies of everything and consult travel advisories before booking, as security in Afghanistan can change quickly.
Common mistakes to avoid
Avoid betting on a visa on arrival, presenting a soon-to-expire passport, or ignoring a possibly required vaccination. Book nothing non-refundable before the visa is issued, and check that the form matches the passport exactly.
