About Diplomatic visa to Afghanistan

A diplomatic visa for Afghanistan is an official visa for people traveling to Afghanistan on behalf of a government agency, international organization, diplomatic mission or other public institution.

The visa is used for official visits, diplomatic missions, international meetings, and other governmental or official activities in Afghanistan. For this visa category, the applicant's employer or government agency is required to submit a letter of introduction outlining the purpose of the trip.

The letter of introduction is sent to the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kabul, which then issues a visa processing approval. Only after this approval has been issued can the visa application be processed.

Swedish citizens travelling to Afghanistan for official assignments need a diplomatic visa or other special official visa, depending on the nature of the mission.

You will need the following documents to apply:

• Completed visa application
• Physical and valid passport
• Visa photo
• Official letter of introduction from employer or authority
• Documents proving the official nature of the mission
• Approval from the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kabul

Afghanistan can change visa rules and document requirements at short notice. It is therefore important to check the current rules before submitting the application.
