What this means for your trip
For an ordinary Afghanistan passport, the working assumption is a regular Russian visa. Tourism normally uses confirmation from a registered tour operator. For citizens covered by Government list 372-r, a qualifying booking confirmation from classified accommodation can be an alternative. Business, private, work and study travel use different invitation channels. The responsible mission or visa centre decides its local checklist and receives the application.

Afghanistan: what to do next
If the traveller legally lives and applies in Afghanistan, confirm which visa office covers their address before buying an invitation.
- Cities named
- Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif
- The current Kabul requirements table publishes private, business, work and study rows but no tourist-visa row. It does not provide a reliable local tourist checklist to copy.
- For the visa categories it does list, the table asks for a passport copy, a 3 × 4 cm photograph, the relevant invitation and a guarantee letter; these are not automatically tourist requirements.
- Confirm with the mission that it will accept a tourist application and what it wants before buying dated support or arranging travel to the post.
