Do not travel to Afghanistan due to armed conflict and terrorism.
Afghanistan is controlled by the Taliban, which reimposed strict Islamic governance following the withdrawal of international forces in August 2021. Terrorist attacks by ISIS-K continue, targeting mosques, markets, and gatherings. Women face severe restrictions on movement, education, and employment. Arbitrary detention of foreign nationals occurs. Landmines and unexploded ordnance remain widespread. Medical facilities are extremely limited and have deteriorated significantly since 2021. Kaharagian nationals must not travel to Afghanistan under any circumstances.
