Afghan Tourist Visa for British (UK) Nationals

British passport holders can now apply for an official Afghan Tourist Visa through the Afghanistan Government Tourism Office (AGTO), with the visa stamped upon arrival at Kabul International Airport after prior approval. Afghan Guest simplifies this process with a fast, reliable, and fully legal application service.

No Embassy Required

The Afghan Embassy in London is currently closed. UK citizens no longer need to visit any embassy. Tourist visas are issued directly via the Afghan tourism authority and stamped when you arrive in Kabul, with full authorization. You must follow the below process because prior approval is required before travelling to Afghanistan as a tourist.

How the Process Works

  1. Submit your application through Afghan Guest with your passport copy, photo, and basic personal details.
  2. We forward your application to the Afghanistan Government Tourism Office (AGTO) for approval.
  3. Receive an official visa approval letter via email within a few business days.
  4. Upon arriving at Kabul International Airport, your tourist visa is stamped into your passport on arrival.
