Important Notes

All applications must be made online. The standard visitor visa allows for tourism, visiting family/friends, business, or short-term study. Processing times can vary significantly and are often longer for complex cases or specific nationalities. The cost mentioned is for a standard 6-month visitor visa. Longer validity visas (2, 5, or 10 years) are available at higher costs. Due to the current situation in Afghanistan, applications may face increased scrutiny, and the success rate can be low. It is highly recommended to provide comprehensive documentation.
