  • Inference flagged: the MOLSA procedure governs foreign nationals in general and never mentions students or the student visa; whether a student visa counts as the 'legal visa' for a work permit, and whether study and employment may be combined, is not stated anywhere official.
  • The MOLSA procedure PDF is dated February 2020 (Republic era) and is still hosted on the ministry site under the current administration; its continued application is not confirmed by any dated statement.
  • The Labour Law (Gazette 966, 2007) is still published by MOLSA (molsa.gov.af, 'قانون کار 966.pdf') but is listed as abrogated in the MoJ database (observed 2026-09-22); the divergence is recorded and the law is not cited as an in-force source.
  • Family position (dependants' work) is not addressed by any official source.
