Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Afghanistan visa requirements

Yes — a Taiwan ordinary passport holder needs a visa, obtainable online as a single-entry tourist e-Visa through Afghanistan's E-Afghans portal (launched March 2026). Taiwan nationals are eligible despite the Taliban's non-recognition of Taiwan. Entry is currently only via Kabul International Airport, and a severe "do not travel" advisory applies. As of mid-2026, Afghanistan does not grant visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry to Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holders. The de facto authorities launched an online tourist e-Visa system (the "E-Afghans" portal) in March 2026, and Taiwan citizens are among the nationalities eligible to apply — described by visa-policy trackers as the least restrictive option Afghanistan extends to any country, notwithstanding the Taliban's denial of Taiwanese statehood. The e-Visa is single-entry, allows a stay of up to 30 days, and must be used within 90 days of issuance. It currently permits entry only through Kabul International Airport (Hamid Karzai International); land borders and other airports are not covered. Total cost is roughly USD 128 (an USD 8 application fee plus an USD ~120 / USD 123.71 visa fee), and processing typically takes 1–3 weeks. Travelers must independently verify the latest rules: the system is new, eligibility lists are still being finalized, and government travel advisories urge against all travel to Afghanistan due to terrorism, kidnapping, civil unrest, and the risk of wrongful detention. Taiwan has no diplomatic presence in Afghanistan, so consular assistance for Taiwan nationals is extremely limited.
