Moroccan passport holders need an e-visa to enter Afghanistan. You must apply online before you travel — there's no visa-on-arrival option. Plan ahead, as the application process takes time and requires careful document preparation.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Afghanistan e-VisaYou cannot get a visa on arrival; you must have an approved e-Visa before boarding your flight. Apply online before travel | Moroccan citizens must obtain an e-Visa prior to arrival. Apply through the official Afghan e-Visa portal, providing a digital photo, passport bio page, and supporting documents. Processing typically takes 3-5 business days; approval is not guaranteed. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, you may be denied entry. At least 6 months beyond arrival | Your Moroccan passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Afghanistan. Ensure your passport does not expire before 2026-02-06. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe immigration officer needs a clean page to stamp your passport. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least 1 blank visa page for the entry stamp. Pages marked 'amendments' or 'endorsements' are not acceptable. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketImmigration may ask to see proof that you will leave Afghanistan before your visa expires. Proof of departure | You must present a confirmed return or onward ticket showing departure from Afghanistan within the validity of your e-Visa. The ticket must be in your name. | Required |
| Proof of fundsHaving proof of funds helps avoid delays or refusal at the border. Sufficient for stay | You may be asked to show evidence of sufficient funds (e.g., bank statements, cash, or credit cards) to cover your stay in Afghanistan. The amount is not fixed but should cover accommodation and living expenses. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any online arrival form before traveling. Not required | No arrival declaration form is required for entry into Afghanistan. You will only complete standard immigration and customs forms upon arrival. | Not required |
| Visa extensionPlan your trip carefully because you cannot extend your stay once in Afghanistan. Not possible | The Afghan e-Visa is not extendable. You must leave the country before the visa expiry date or face overstay penalties. | Not required |
Security situation
Afghanistan is an active conflict zone. The UK, US, and many other governments advise against all travel to the country. If you must go, use professional security advice, avoid non-essential movement, and have a solid evacuation plan.
E-visa is not extendable
You cannot extend your e-visa while in Afghanistan. Overstaying can lead to fines, detention, or deportation. Plan your exit date carefully and book your departure flight before you arrive.
Print everything
Don't rely on your phone. Internet and power outages are common in Afghanistan. Print your e-visa, flight itinerary, and accommodation details — and keep copies in separate bags.
What happens at the border
1
Complete the online e-visa application
Go to the official Afghan e-visa portal (evisa.afghanistan.gov.af) and fill out the form. Upload your passport scan, photo, itinerary, and accommodation details. Double-check all information matches your passport exactly — any mismatch can cause delays or rejection.
2
Pay the e-visa fee
Pay the non-refundable fee online using a credit or debit card. The fee varies by nationality and length of stay, so check the portal for the exact amount. Keep the payment receipt.
3
Wait for processing
Processing typically takes 3-5 business days, but can take longer. Apply at least 2 weeks before your travel date to be safe. You'll receive an email notification once your e-visa is approved.
4
Print your e-visa
Log back into the portal, download the PDF of your approved e-visa, and print at least two copies. Keep one in your carry-on and one in your checked luggage.
5
Arrive at Kabul International Airport
At immigration, present your passport, printed e-visa, and any supporting documents. The officer will verify your details and stamp your passport. Be prepared for possible questions about your itinerary and purpose of visit.

Frequently asked questions
Processing usually takes 3-5 business days, but it can stretch to 2 weeks during busy periods or if additional checks are needed. Apply at least 2 weeks before your planned departure to avoid last-minute stress.
No. Afghanistan does not offer visa-on-arrival for Moroccan citizens. You must have an approved e-visa before you board your flight.
The fee varies depending on your nationality and the length of stay. Check the official e-visa portal for the exact amount. It's non-refundable, so make sure your application is correct before paying.
No, the e-visa is not extendable. You must leave Afghanistan before your visa expires. If you need to stay longer, you'll need to exit and re-enter with a new e-visa.
You'll receive an email explaining the reason. Common issues include mismatched passport details, poor photo quality, or incomplete documentation. You can reapply, but the fee is non-refundable. Double-check everything before submitting.
Afghanistan requires a yellow fever certificate if you're arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Morocco isn't on that list, so you likely won't need it — but check the latest health entry requirements closer to your trip.
The e-visa is valid for entry at Kabul International Airport and other official border crossings. However, land borders are often subject to closures or security issues — flying into Kabul is the most reliable option.
