Afghanistan visa for Vatican citizens

For Afghan passport holders, visiting Vatican City, the world's smallest independent state, necessitates obtaining a Schengen visa, typically through an Italian consulate. This required visa, often costing around €80 for a short-stay tourist type, generally permits stays of up to 90 days within the Schengen Area, granting access to Vatican City. As Vatican City is entirely enclosed within Rome, your journey will involve multi-stop flights from Kabul to Italy, where the Euro is the official currency. Preparing for potential language differences, with Italian being widely spoken in Rome, will enhance your transit to this exceptionally unique religious and historical enclave.
