Am I allowed to fly there?

Basic rule

Permit required

You may only fly here with a permit issued by the authorities in advance.

Possessing or using drones without permission from the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) is prohibited; no procedure for tourists is officially described.

Operator registration

Required

According to the US State Department, drones must be registered with the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) and you need prior permission from the government.

Your EU registration is not automatically valid here.

Competency certificate

Your EU competency certificate is not automatically recognised here. Whether you need a separate one isn't in the country rules – please check with the authority.

Insurance

Unclear

Remote ID & marking

No information – please check with the authority.

Maximum altitude

No information – please check with the authority.

Special rules

For tourists

No practical route for holidaymakers is known, and your German registration does not count. Best leave the drone at home. The German Foreign Office strongly advises against travel to all border areas with Afghanistan, where explosive-laden drones are also used.
