Do South Korea citizens need a visa for Afghanistan?
For ordinary passports, Bilig currently models this route as Visa required · Tourist visa required before travel: three-month visa validity but one-month authorised stay; separate Korean exceptional passport-use permission also required · A Republic of Korea ordinary-passport holder must obtain an Afghan tourist visa before travel. Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs describes the tourist visa as valid for three months but authorising a one-month stay; the visa-validity window must therefore not be represented as three months of presence. The application requires a valid passport and evidence supporting the tourism purpose, including hotel confirmation. Independently of Afghanistan's visa, Afghanistan remains a Republic of Korea level-4 travel-ban destination, so a Korean citizen must first obtain exceptional permission to use the passport and visit or stay there; travel without that separate Korean authorisation may result in criminal or administrative sanctions.. Always confirm final entry requirements with the destination authority before travel.
