Verify the current requirements with the official source.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Uruguayan nationals fall under the consular regime and must obtain a tourist visa before departure. No visa-free or e-visa option exists for this passport to Afghanistan.
How and where to apply
With no Afghan mission in Uruguay, approach the Afghan embassy or consulate accredited for Latin America or located in a third country. Contact it for the form, the submission method (in person or by post) and any service provider. The passport must be valid for at least six months.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for six months, recent photos, a completed form and, depending on the mission, an invitation letter or booking. Consular fees are not published centrally, so confirm the exact rate with the mission before paying.
Processing and tips
Processing can take longer when it goes through a distant mission, so allow several weeks and secure passport shipping if needed. Check the travel advisory from Uruguay's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and health requirements, including yellow fever if you transit a risk area.
Common mistakes
Do not assume a visa on arrival — it does not exist for this passport. A near-expired passport or an incomplete file delays issuance. Confirm every requirement with the Afghan mission and the official source, not with intermediaries.
