Important Information

Once your appointment is confirmed you can send all the required documents to consulate@afghanistan-vienna.com for a draft to be prepared beforehand. 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 will be handed over to the client for review. It is the applicant’s responsibility to check and confirm the content of the prepared Inheritance Letter before signing it. The fee paid is non-refundable. Should any changes need to be brought to the content of the document, a new IL must be applied for and a new fee applies.
