traveling to Afghanistan….

Every trip needs planning, but when you’re planning what I call, “outside of the box” travel then a little more time and effort is required. Any touristy trip is easy, but as I found out, a little more time is required.

A Visa - Yes, you’re going to need to get one and those British Nationals of us sadly cant use the Afgan Embassy in London any more. It closed down a few years back. So you’ve got a couple of options here and they are United Arab Emirates (Dubai) and Pakistan (Islamabad and Peshawar). Thats your lot! Don’t think for a minute think that “VISA HQ” can get you one because they cant. They profess to but all they offer is advise at a cost of £90. Thats advice thats already available.

So, before you get to the stage of getting a visa, you’ll need a letter from an Afgan registed guide, this is Hamza’s job on your behalf. Again, I’ll give you all his info etc in another post. He is the man to use though. Next download the visa form from here, https://afghanembassy.org.uk/application-forms/visa-application-form.pdf and follow the instructions as to want you need in addition
