Just wondering if anyone has ever had problems applying for visas or entering countries (except US) with an Afghan visa/entry stamp in their passport?

Last post

Any idea why Libya rejects those visas?

Having an Afghanistan or Somalila stamp in your passport will no longer be an issue when entering Libya!
