When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Afghanistan Time and Pacific Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Pacific Time is 11 hours behind Afghanistan Time.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 PM–8 PM in Afghanistan Time (7 AM–8 AM in Pacific Time) — suggest 7:00 PM Afghanistan Time (7:30 AM Pacific Time).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
This window may shift by an hour during daylight saving time.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
