Overview
Afghanistan coverage is lite because the reviewed public official packet is the Consulate General of Afghanistan in Dubai visa and entry-permit pages, plus the E-Afghans Visa Portal. The packet confirms tourist e-visa filing, single-entry Kabul International Airport entry, 30-day stay, 90-day issue validity, standard and express processing choices, fee stages, and Afghan-origin foreign-passport entry permit handling. It does not publish a complete public checklist for every work, residence, study, family, renewal, local-registration or non-tourist visa case, and Afghan mission operations and recognition can be sensitive, so applicants should confirm the current competent mission, authority, route, purpose, payment and travel conditions before relying on any filing path. The Consulate page for foreign Afghans states that Afghans holding passports other than Afghan passports need to apply for an entry permit. The listed requirements are a completed application form, a copy of the foreign passport and Tazkira, and for children under 18 a copy of the birth certificate plus copies of parent Afghan passports or Tazkera. The page says the Consulate General provides this service free of charge and lists processing time as one working hour after a complete application is received.
