This page covers a direct flight to Afghanistan.

Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
You're travelling to Afghanistan (AF). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.

The US State Department publishes these advisories for your route. Afghanistan: Level 4 — Do Not Travel (as of 2026-02-20). This is the State Department's highest advisory. Consular help may be limited or unavailable; review the country page and confirm your insurance covers the situation before committing. This is a US State Department safety perspective, not an entry or boarding rule — it doesn't affect whether you can board, only what to be aware of on the ground. Travellers from other countries should also check their own government's advisory.

Because you are travelling from India (IN) to Afghanistan (AF) (a polio-risk country), India (IN) requires all travellers to have a dose of polio vaccine (OPV), given at least 4 weeks before departure, regardless of age or past vaccination. Get the dose and carry the International Certificate of Vaccination (ICVP); without it you may be given the vaccine at the airport before you are allowed to travel.
Your India (IN) passport requires an e-Visa for Afghanistan. e-Visas need an online application, may require supporting documents (photos, itinerary, hotel bookings), and have processing windows from same-day to two weeks. Apply before booking the flight. Source: Wikipedia visa matrix, synced 2026-07-12T08:42:48.605925+00:00.
