Traveling in Afghanistan requires strict compliance with local regulations. All foreign travelers must obtain official Travel Permit Letters for each province they intend to visit or stay overnight in.

As of September 2025, Afghan authorities and tourism offices will not issue any travel permit letter without a government-licensed local guide. Independent travelers cannot obtain permits on their own.

HAMIDI TMC provides end-to-end support, including licensed local guides and permit coordination, to ensure your travel is legal, approved, and worry-free.
