Discover visa requirements for your trip
Uzbek nationals need a visa to travel to Afghanistan. It must be arranged in advance, preferably through the official e-visa portal when it is working, or otherwise at an Afghan consular mission.
Uzbekistan has no visa exemption for Afghanistan. Uzbek travellers fall under an electronic-visa regime: the application is filed online when the service is open, otherwise through the Afghan consular channel responsible for Uzbekistan. Because the fee and timelines are not fixed here, confirm them with the official source before booking.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. As an Uzbek citizen you must obtain a visa to enter Afghanistan, including for a tourist stay. There is no exemption and no guaranteed visa on arrival: the step has to be completed before departure. The applicable regime is an electronic visa, and the online route should be your first choice where it is available.
How and where to apply
Start with the official Afghan e-visa portal: you create a file there, upload your documents and track processing. If the online service is unavailable or does not cover your case, apply to the Afghan embassy or consulate responsible for Uzbekistan. Confirm the accepted channel, the payment method and how the visa is collected before you begin.
Documents and fees
Have an Uzbek passport valid for at least 6 months on the date of entry, an application form, a compliant passport photo and the usual supporting documents (purpose of travel, accommodation, and possibly an invitation letter or itinerary). The fee amount and exact document list are not set here: they depend on the channel used and must be verified directly with the official source before any payment.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not guaranteed and varies depending on whether you use the online portal or a consular mission; ask the official source for a current estimate. Lodge your application several weeks before departure. Also check the health entry requirements, including a possible yellow-fever vaccination certificate if you transit a risk area, and review your own government's travel advice.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not assume you can regularise on arrival: boarding or entry may be refused without a valid visa. Do not use intermediary sites that imitate the official portal and add surcharges. Make sure the details you enter match the passport exactly and that its validity does not fall below the required 6 months.
