The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan consistently strives to defend the legitimate rights of Afghan nationals residing abroad, particularly in European countries, and provide them with easy consular services.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly urged the Afghan political and consular missions in European countries to engage with Kabul to at least address consular services-related issues of Afghans and provide better services for Afghan citizens. Unfortunately, the actions of most of the missions are carried out in without coordination, arbitrarily and in explicit violation of the existing accepted principles.
Therefore, IEA-MoFA informs all Afghan nationals residing abroad that following this notice, the consular services such as deeds, endorsements, NOCs, issuing passports, passport renewal stickers, visa stickers, etc., from the missions in London, Belgium, Berlin, Bonn, Swiss, Austria, France, Italy, Greece, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Canada and Australia are no longer accepted by MoFA and relevant departments, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs bears no responsibility toward these documents and no actions will be taken thereof.
All Afghans living abroad and foreign nationals can visit the IEA political and consular missions in other countries, other than the above-mentioned missions, to access consular services.
