The U.S. Embassy in Kabul suspended operations on August 31, 2021. While the U.S. government has withdrawn its personnel from Kabul, we will continue to assist U.S. citizens and their families in Afghanistan from Doha, Qatar.
The Embassy will continue to provide information via the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), the Embassy web page, Travel.State.Gov, and Facebook and Twitter. Consular services remain available outside Afghanistan. To locate the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate click here.
The Department of State has no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas. U.S. citizens still in country should:
Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive security updates and ensure you can be located in an emergency.
Review your personal security plans.
Be aware of your surroundings and local security developments at all times. Keep a low profile.
Notify a trusted person of your travel and movement plans.
Make contingency plans to leave when it is safe to do so that do not rely on U.S. government assistance.
Monitor local media.
Please review, “What the Department of State Can and Can’t Do in a Crisis.”
