It is not currently recommended to take traveller’s cheques to Afghanistan, since they are not widely accepted and may take up to two months to clear. If necessary, however, to avoid additional exchange rate charges, travellers are advised to take traveller’s cheques in US Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling.
