A connection is not an entry stamp. Whether you can stay airside without a visa depends on your passport, airline, airport, and layover length. From Kabul the common hubs on this catalog are DXB, IST, and DEL. Confirm with the airline before you pay. Rules change. Confirm visas, transit, and baggage with the airline and the relevant embassy before you travel. If bags are checked through, do I still need a transit visa? Often yes for some passports. The document check at KBL is the practical test. Ask before you book a tight connection. Which transit pages should I read? Dubai: /guides/transit/dxb. Istanbul: /guides/transit/ist. Delhi: /guides/transit/del.
