Security situation
Afghanistan remains a high-risk travel destination. Check your government's travel advisory before booking. Many embassies have limited consular services. Travel insurance with evacuation coverage is essential.
Visa application is manual
There is no e-visa system for Afghanistan. All applications go through embassies or consulates. Plan ahead — processing can be slow and unpredictable.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the Afghan embassy or consulate
Find the nearest Afghan embassy or consulate that handles visa applications. In Morocco, the closest option is usually the Afghan embassy in Rabat or the embassy in a neighboring country. Call or email to confirm the application process, fees, and required documents.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather your passport (valid 6+ months), completed visa application form, passport-sized photos, return flight booking, hotel confirmation, and any additional documents the embassy requests.
3
Submit your application
Submit the application in person or by mail to the embassy. Pay the visa fee (amount varies by embassy — expect around $50–$100 USD). Processing time is typically 5–10 business days, but can take longer.
4
Collect your visa
Once approved, collect your passport with the visa sticker. Check that all details (name, passport number, validity dates) are correct before leaving the embassy.
5
Arrive in Afghanistan
At Kabul International Airport (KBL) or other entry points, proceed to the immigration counter. Present your passport with the visa, return ticket, and hotel booking. The officer will stamp you in. Keep your documents handy — queues can be slow.

Frequently asked questions
No. Afghanistan does not offer visa on arrival for Moroccan citizens. You must obtain a visa from an Afghan embassy or consulate before you travel.
Processing usually takes 5–10 business days, but can be longer depending on the embassy. Apply at least 2–3 weeks before your planned departure to be safe.
The fee varies by embassy, typically between $50 and $100 USD. Contact the embassy directly for the exact amount and accepted payment methods.
It depends on the embassy. Some require a letter of invitation from a host or employer in Afghanistan, especially for business or long-stay visas. For tourism, a hotel booking is usually enough. Check with the embassy.
Visa extensions are not officially available for Moroccan passport holders. You must leave before your visa expires. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
Renew your passport before applying for the visa. The 6-month requirement is strictly enforced — if your passport expires sooner, your visa will be denied.
Not officially required for visa application or entry, but strongly recommended. Medical facilities are basic and evacuation can be extremely expensive. Get a policy that covers medical evacuation.
