Discover visa requirements for your trip
Chadian nationals need a consular visa for Afghanistan, obtained before travel; no visa is issued on arrival.
From N'Djamena, a Chadian traveller planning a stay in Afghanistan must start the tourist-visa process at a competent Afghan mission. Because Afghanistan has no embassy in Chad, the application goes through the Afghan embassy or consulate accredited to the sub-region. The Chadian passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the entry date.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, without exception. Chad enjoys no exemption and no visa on arrival for Afghanistan. The visa must be valid before boarding. Arriving at the border without one leads to refused entry.
How and where to apply
Approach the Afghan embassy or consulate covering Chad, usually based in a neighbouring or regional country. Get in touch beforehand to learn the required papers and the filing method, as some posts redirect applicants to an official portal. Always confirm the current procedure with the official source.
Documents and fees
Gather a passport valid for six months, compliant photos, the completed form and, where relevant, an invitation letter or accommodation booking. The consular fee for Chadian applicants is not reliably published and must be confirmed with the mission. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be requested depending on your flight routing.
Processing time and tips
Processing time varies by mission and is not guaranteed, so allow several weeks. Check the permitted stay and validity window printed on the visa as soon as it is issued. Keep both digital and paper copies of the whole file.
Common mistakes
Do not rely on a visa on arrival, which does not exist for Chadians. Avoid assuming an Afghan embassy sits in N'Djamena. Do not pay for a non-refundable flight until the visa is granted.
