The Taliban have issued a recent statement saying that all foreign nationals and Afghans with travel authority from another country will be allowed to leave Afghanistan.
“We have received assurances from the Taliban that all foreign nationals and any Afghan citizen with travel authorization from our countries will be allowed to proceed in a safe and orderly manner to points of departure and travel outside the country,” the United States, Great Britain said in a joint statement.

Other countries like Australia, Japan, France, and Spain say they will continue to issue travel documents for Afghans who would wish to leave their country.
The Taliban previously said that they are preventing foreign nationals from leaving Afghanistan last week.
On Sunday, the United States carried airstrikes against a vehicle said to be carrying “multiple suicide bombers” from Islamic State’s local affiliate who were planning to attack Kabul airport. (TDT)
