Entry requirements

| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from South Sudan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers at Juba International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they may deny entry if you cannot show one. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host in South Sudan. Immigration may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have cash (USD is preferred) or a bank statement showing at least $500 for short stays. Immigration may ask how you will fund your trip — being vague can lead to questioning. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must show a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (Yellow Card) upon arrival. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated at the airport (if available). Get the shot at least 10 days before travel.
eVisa processing times can vary
The official eVisa portal may experience delays. Apply at least 2 weeks in advance if possible. Keep a copy of your application receipt and confirmation email.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official South Sudan eVisa portal (if available) or use a trusted visa service. Fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (typically around $100–$150 USD) and submit. Processing usually takes 3–5 business days.
2
Receive and print your eVisa
Once approved, you'll get an email with your eVisa PDF. Print at least two copies — one to present at check-in and one for immigration on arrival. Also save a digital copy on your phone.
3
Arrive at Juba International Airport (JUB)
Most flights arrive at Juba. After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Visa on Arrival' (even if you have an eVisa). Join the queue for pre-approved visas. Present your passport, printed eVisa, return ticket, and accommodation proof. The officer will stamp your passport and may ask how long you plan to stay.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually a quick bag check. Once through, you're free to enter South Sudan.
