Afghanistan–Uzbekistan border

Afghan and Uzbek boundary markers

The Afghanistan–Uzbekistan border is 144 km (89 mi) in length and runs from the tripoint with Turkmenistan to the tripoint with Tajikistan along the Amu River. It is the shortest of Uzbekistan's external borders. The city of Termez in Uzbekistan and the town of Hairatan in Afghanistan are the closest major populated centers to the border.

Large volumes of trade between Afghanistan and Uzbekistan pass through the border on daily basis. Citizens of Afghanistan could stay for up to 10 days in Termez without a travel visa.
