Immigration
Visas issued, but exit restrictions are the live issue
Entry requires a visa from an Afghan mission abroad. The more consequential rules concern departure: women require a male guardian for many journeys, and passport issuance has been intermittent.

In practice
For foreign nationals the practical constraint is not the visa but security and the absence of consular protection, as most states have suspended embassy operations in Kabul. Afghan nationals seeking to leave face documentation delays and, for women travelling without a mahram, refusal at the airport.
