Commas are a feature of sentence structure. There is no word or phrase in English that requires one. The formula "as well as" may appear properly with no commas at all, with one before or one after, all depending on the clause and the sense.
When it means "with the same skill or success" it never has commas: I speak french as well as he does.
When it means "too, also" it may take a comma before, depending on its place in the clause: I have my passport and my driver's license, and some local cash as well.
OR I have some local cash, as well as my passport and driver's license.
I am old as well as Aisha
Commas around "as well as" depend on the context. If it is used to add extra, non-essential information, then commas are used. If it is more integral to the sentence, then commas are not necessary. For example: "I enjoy hiking, as well as biking." vs. "I enjoy hiking as well as running."
A comma is typically used before "as well as" if it is used to introduce extra information in a sentence. For example: "She enjoys various outdoor activities, as well as hiking and biking." A comma after "as well as" is not necessary.
A sentence with three commas may be a complex sentence with multiple dependent clauses separated by commas.

EX: Bob, as well as his friend John, went to the premiere of the new movie. (As a longtime typist and transcriptionist, I know my commas!)
