Argentina to Afghanistan visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders need an Afghan visa before travel. The official E-Afghans portal currently issues a single-entry tourist e-Visa valid for a 30-day stay, with entry only through Kabul International Airport. Argentine ordinary passport holders cannot enter Afghanistan visa-free or on arrival. The official E-Afghans portal says the current online product is a single-entry tourist e-Visa valid for up to 30 days from entry, expiring 90 days from issue, with entry only through Kabul International Airport. Argentina is not named in the restricted nationality/residence text shown on the official eligibility checker, but applicants must still use the official checker because eligibility depends on both nationality and current country of residence. Required documents include a clear electronic passport bio-data page, a colour photo with white background, and, where applicable, national ID or residence permit plus optional itinerary/accommodation support. The official fee table now supports more precise amounts than the old third-party estimates: standard applicants from `Others` countries pay USD 8.25 initially and, after approval, USD 123.71 as the remainder; express/VIP uses the same USD 8.25 initial fee and a USD 175.26 remainder. Standard processing is 1-4 weeks; express is typically 1 business day for complete applications. Afghanistan remains a high-risk destination: U.S. guidance says an Afghan visa is required before travel and gives a six-month passport-validity/one blank-page standard. Argentina's Cancillería advises Argentines to verify destination visa requirements with the relevant diplomatic or consular representation.
