Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit AF?

Indonesian passport holders need a visa for Afghanistan. Afghanistan launched a single-entry tourist e-Visa in March 2026 (E-Afghans portal): 30-day stay, valid 90 days from issue, Kabul airport only. Important: Indonesia is on the e-Visa "restricted residency" list, so travelers residing in Indonesia cannot use the online portal and must apply through an Afghan embassy/consulate instead. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for ordinary Indonesian passport holders to Afghanistan; a visa is mandatory for all foreign nationals (the only exception being people born in Afghanistan or to Afghan parents). In March 2026 the Taliban administration launched an online tourist e-Visa through the E-Afghans portal (eafghans.com). It is a single-entry visa permitting stays of up to 30 days, must be used within 90 days of issue, and is currently accepted only for arrivals at Kabul (Hamid Karzai) International Airport, not at land borders. Indonesian nationality is not on the prohibited-nationality list (which includes Israel, Pakistan, Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan), so by passport an Indonesian citizen is eligible. However, Indonesia appears on the e-Visa "restricted residency" list, meaning anyone whose country of residence is Indonesia is blocked from the online portal even with an eligible passport. In practice, an Indonesian citizen resident in Indonesia must apply for a paper visa at an Afghan embassy or consulate, whereas an Indonesian citizen resident in a non-restricted country can use the e-Visa. Fees are roughly USD 8 (application) plus a USD 120-260 issuance fee depending on nationality and processing speed. Afghanistan remains under do-not-travel advisories from most governments; verify the current security situation and the operating status of Afghan missions before booking. The verdict is "evisa" as the closest single fit, but the residency restriction is decisive for travelers based in Indonesia.
