Indonesia visa for Afghans
What Indonesia asks of Afghan passport holders, and what to do.
Indonesia
What to do
Get a visa from the country's embassy or consulate before you travel. If it has none in Afghanistan, apply in a neighbouring country.
Afghan citizens are subject to the calling visa category, a designation applied to nationals considered to have specific vulnerabilities or risks related to ideology, politics, the economy, society, culture, security, or immigration. Prior approval from the Directorate General of Immigration in Jakarta is required before they can apply for a visa.
Visa rules sometimes change without notice. Before you buy a ticket, confirm with the country's embassy.

Applying for a visa
Where to apply
- Pakistan: online at the official portal visa.nadra.gov.pk, then as the embassy instructs.
- Iran: through the Iranian embassy or a consulate. Iran's e-visa system is at e_visa.mfa.ir.
- Uzbekistan: the official e-visa portal e-visa.gov.uz. Check there whether an Afghan passport qualifies.
- Türkiye, the UAE and others: through the country's embassy or its official visa centre. The UAE usually requires a sponsor inside the country.
What most applications ask for
- A passport valid for at least six months more
- Recent photos with a white background
- Your tazkira, and often a bank statement, an invitation or a hotel booking
Before you pay anyone
- Check the fee on the embassy's own website.
- No visa is "guaranteed" for a price. Agents who promise one are a common fraud.
- Never hand your original passport to someone who is not an embassy or an official visa centre.
