About the Afghanistan Passport
The Afghanistan passport ranks 76th, near the bottom of the global mobility table. Only 6 destinations are visa-free, and total access reaches 77 when visa on arrival, eTA and e-Visa entries are counted. Africa is the strongest region with 3 visa-free countries, while Oceania offers a single one.
Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore accept an e-Visa. France and the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Japan, China and Brazil all require a visa in advance. In total, 120 countries ask Afghan travelers to apply before arrival, so nearly every trip depends on prior approval, and visa-free travel is limited to a very small group of places. Even the strongest regional figures are small, which is why planning matters. A second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 103 destinations.
