According to data released by the directorate, 4,568 foreign nationals entered Afghanistan in this period, while 3,992 others left the country.
The report states that the highest volume of foreign national traffic occurred via the Nimroz and Herat border crossings—two key western border gates that play a critical role in regional transit and exchanges.

However, no further details regarding the purpose of travel or the nationalities of these foreign nationals have been provided.
