What if we dont have GMAT or GRE certificates, because in Afghanistan we don't have the test center?
Dear Popalzai,
According to the GRE website, the test is offered in Kabul twice yearly. You can find more information here: https://www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/gre_pbt_center_list… and on their website.
According to the GMAT website, the closest test location to Kabul is in Islamabad. You may have to travel to take this test. For more information see their website here: http://www.mba.com/.

I've read, but there are many applications for different scholarships where people don't have to spend money and time on tests before they get accepted. Because that is usually just a small step. Tnx
