India resumes granting visas to Afghan nationals

The New Indian Express Vijayawada

May 27, 2025

INDIA has re-started issuing visas to citizens of Taliban-ruled Afghanistan in the student, business, medical, medical attendant, entry and UN diplomat categories, according to official notification.

- MUKESH RANJAN @ New Delhi

This comes nearly five years after India suspended all visa services to Afghan nationals and closed its embassy and consulates following a regime change in that country. The government did not make any formal announcement in this regard but created a window on the country's visa portal for online applications, which reads 'Afghan Visa (For Afghanistan National) Apply Here'.

The window opens a page with links to six categories. A notice on the website says, "Afghan nationals may apply for an online visa".
