Afghanistan Visa Services in Los Angeles

- Valid passport — keep the original secure until the submission location is confirmed.
- Travel purpose — tourism, business, entry, visit, or another category must match the application.
- Supporting documents — tourist applicants should be ready to provide hotel booking confirmation and other trip evidence.
- Current submission route — confirm where your application can actually be accepted before mailing originals.

Tourist visa
What the official Afghanistan source currently lists.
These are the core points published by Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a tourist visa.
Valid passport
A valid passport is listed as a required supporting document. Do not mail the original until the accepting mission is confirmed.
Hotel booking confirmation
The official tourist-visa page specifically identifies hotel booking confirmation as supporting evidence for the application.
Travel purpose and other supporting documents
The visa is issued based on the purpose of travel and any other documents required for the case. Requirements can vary by applicant and by the mission handling the application.
Confirm where the case can be filed
Because there is no Afghan embassy or consulate in the United States, confirm the current accepting mission before sending your passport or original documents.
Other official visa categories
Business, entry, and arrival visas have different rules.
Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes separate fees and eligibility requirements for these categories.
