Do I need a visa for Afghanistan?

Polish citizens must obtain a visa before travelling to Afghanistan. The permission is issued as a physical visa and must be granted before you depart; having a visa does not guarantee entry.

Which documents do I need?

You must travel on a Polish passport. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry. A national identity card, a driving licence and a temporary passport are not accepted for entry on this route.

Are vaccinations required for Afghanistan?

No vaccinations are mandatory for entry to Afghanistan on this route. Vaccination against polio is recommended, and the official guidance highlights polio vaccination especially for certain travel plans.

How long can I stay, and can I extend it?

The source does not provide a days‑per‑period limit or an overstay penalty for this route.

Can children travel on this route?

Children under 18 need the same travel document as adults: a valid passport. They do not require parental consent letters or additional notarised paperwork for entry on this route.

Do I need travel insurance?

Travel insurance is a condition of entry to Afghanistan and you must have insurance in place for your trip.

Where do I get the visa?

You apply for the Afghan visa through the official application portal linked on this page; the outcome is a physical visa you must obtain before departure. Although Afghanistan keeps no embassy in Poland, the nearest Afghan embassy for consular matters is in India; note that direct consular assistance to Polish citizens in Afghanistan is very limited because of the security situation.
