Following the Fall of Kabul on 15 August 2021, Afghanistan's visa regime is unclear. The laws of the internationally-recognized former government, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, required visas for all foreign nationals to visit Afghanistan. The only exemptions were travellers born in Afghanistan, born to Afghan parents or with parents born in Afghanistan.[1]Diplomatic missions of Afghanistan set up by the Islamic Republic have been instructed by the Taliban to continue their work.[2] Some missions have stopped issuing visas, while others have continued to issue them, although it is unclear whether they will be accepted for entry into Afghanistan.[3][4]
