KABUL: The Taliban-led administration announced the formation of a joint commission to facilitate visas for Pakistan, which will comprise representatives from the Afghan Foreign Ministry and the Pakistan Embassy in Kabul.

According to media reports, Nooruddin Azizi, the acting Minister of Commerce and Industry, the two countries would work together to address people's difficulties in obtaining visas. "They will hold meetings and talks to develop an easier and better procedure for issuing visas to Afghans," he said.

Except for Iran and Pakistan, most nations have stopped giving visas to Afghan people since the Taliban seized control Kabul in August of last year. Some Kabul residents claimed that despite waiting weeks for a Pakistani visa, their applications were denied.

"We beg the government to make the visa application procedure easier because certain patients' health situations are critical," Laiq Ahmad, a Kabul resident, the report read. "If we apply now, it will take over two months to be issued; sometimes the visa comes, sometimes it is rejected," said Sohrabi, another Afghan capital resident.
