Important Information
Once your appointment is confirmed you can send all the required documents to poa@afghanistanembassy.org.uk for a draft POA to be prepared before hand. This will help reduce your wait time at the consulate which normally can take up to 2 hours.
After the application is submitted, a draft POA will be handed over to the client for review. It is the applicant’s responsibility to check and confirm the content of the prepared POA before signing it. The fee paid is non-refundable.
