What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at a Sudanese embassy
Find the Sudanese embassy or consulate nearest to you (e.g., in Brasília, or in a neighboring country if you're already abroad). Submit the completed application form, your passport, passport photos, and any supporting documents. Pay the visa fee (varies by embassy, typically around $100–$150 USD). Wait 5–10 business days for processing.
2
Pack your documents
Before you leave, print or save digital copies of your visa approval, passport, return ticket, hotel booking, and insurance. Keep them in a separate bag from your passport.
3
Arrive at Khartoum International Airport
After landing, proceed to immigration. Present your passport with the visa sticker, your return ticket, and your hotel booking. The officer may ask a few questions (purpose of visit, where you're staying). Answer clearly. You'll get an entry stamp — keep it safe.
4
Get connected
If you arranged an eSIM, it activates automatically on landing. Otherwise, buy a local SIM at the airport or in the city. Having data helps with maps, translation, and contacting your hotel.
