Travel Advisory on Afghanistan

17 September 2024

In view of the situation in Afghanistan, MFA advises Singaporeans to defer all travel to Afghanistan.

Singaporeans who choose to travel to Afghanistan should remain vigilant and monitor local news closely. They should take precautions for their personal safety, and eRegister with MFA immediately at https://eregister.mfa.gov.sg if they have not done so. They should also purchase comprehensive travel insurance and familiarise themselves with the terms and coverage.

Singapore has no diplomatic presence in Afghanistan, which constrains our ability to extend consular assistance in an emergency. Singaporeans in Afghanistan who require assistance should contact the 24-hour MFA Duty Office at:

Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Tel: +65 63798800/6379 8855
Fax: +65 6476 7302

As entry restrictions may change at short notice, you are advised to contact your travel agency, or the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in Jakarta to ensure that you have accurate information for your specific purpose prior to departure.
