Check current travel advisories
Sudan has an unstable security situation. Before booking anything, check your government's travel advisory and consider whether the trip is essential. If you go, have a contingency plan.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the Sudanese embassy or consulate that covers your region. Call or email them first to confirm their visa application process, required documents, and whether you need to apply in person or can mail your application.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather your passport (with 6+ months validity and a blank page), completed application form, photos, travel itinerary, accommodation proof, and any invitation letter. Make copies of everything for your records.
3
Submit your application and pay the fee
Submit your application at the embassy or consulate, either in person or by mail as instructed. Pay the visa fee at that time. Ask for a receipt and note the expected processing time.
4
Wait for processing
Processing can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Check with the embassy on the status if you haven't heard back within the stated timeframe. Do not book non-refundable flights until your visa is approved.
5
Collect your visa and travel
Once approved, collect your passport with the visa sticker. Double-check the visa dates and personal details. At Khartoum International Airport, present your passport and visa to immigration officers — they'll stamp you in.

Processing times vary by embassy, but expect anywhere from 5 working days to 3 weeks. It's best to apply at least a month before your planned travel date to account for any delays.
