Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of entry to Afghanistan. Carry the passport you used for the visa application.
Do I need travel insurance?

What will immigration officers ask to see at the border?

Where do I apply for the visa?
The official application portal is the place to start and submit your visa application. Use that portal to apply rather than assuming you can get a visa on arrival.

Can I extend my tourist stay if I decide to stay longer?
Extensions and overstaying rules are not specified in the provided sources. If you need a longer stay, check the visa itself and contact the issuing authority via the official portal or the embassy handling your case.
What documents should I carry with me when I travel?
You should carry printed originals or clear digital copies of your passport page, visa, travel insurance, return ticket and hotel booking. Officers at check-in or the border may ask to see these documents.
What if my passport is damaged or nearly full?
