Afghanistan: cosa sapere prima di partire
L’essenziale
- FCDO and Canada advise against all travel, including organised tours.
- Women face strictly enforced dress and movement restrictions.
- Cash, medical care and communications cannot be relied on.
Ingresso e visti
A visa is required for British visitors. The Afghan MFA describes a tourist visa valid for three months with a one-month stay and an USD 80 fee. Confirm issuance and acceptance directly with the relevant Afghan mission before any travel; the Afghan embassy in London is closed. Visa possession does not remove the severe security risks.
Alla frontiera possono chiedere
- Foreign arrivals at Kabul must complete Ministry of Interior registration and retain the registration card for departure.
Dogana
- FCDO reports cash limits of USD 5,000 through airports and USD 500 through land borders; confirm before travelling.
