Czech citizens need a visa to enter Sudan. You must arrange this at a Sudanese embassy or consulate before you travel — there is no visa on arrival and no eVisa option for Czech passport holders. Start the process well ahead of your trip, as approval can take several weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Sudan visaYou cannot get this visa online or on arrival; plan ahead. Apply at an embassy/consulate | A visa is required for Czech citizens. Sudan does not offer an eVisa for Czech passport holders, so you must apply through a Sudanese embassy or consulate before travel. Allow several weeks for processing. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, renew it before applying for the visa. At least 6 months beyond entry | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into Sudan. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesSome border officials may require more, so having 2 blank pages is safer. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for entry and exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketKeep a printed or digital copy of your itinerary. Proof of departure | You may be asked to show a confirmed return or onward flight ticket upon arrival or during visa processing. | Required |
| Proof of fundsImmigration may ask how you will support yourself during the visit. Sufficient for stay | Carry evidence of sufficient funds (e.g., bank statements, credit cards) to cover your stay in Sudan. | Recommended |

| eVisa applicationAny online eVisa application will not be accepted for your nationality. Not available | Czech citizens are not eligible for Sudan's eVisa program. Do not attempt to apply online; use the embassy/consulate route instead. | Not required |
No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Czech citizens cannot get a Sudanese visa on arrival. Arriving without a visa means immediate refusal and deportation at your own cost. Always secure your visa from an embassy before flying.
Apply well in advance
Sudanese visa processing can be slow and unpredictable. Start your application at least 6–8 weeks before your intended departure to avoid last-minute stress.
Visa is not extendable
Your Sudanese visa cannot be extended. Overstaying is a serious offence with fines and possible detention. Make sure your travel dates are firm before you apply.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the nearest Sudanese diplomatic mission (e.g., in Berlin, Vienna, or London for Czech residents). Call or email to confirm current requirements, fees, and whether you must apply in person or can mail your application.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, invitation/hotel booking, itinerary, bank statements. Make photocopies of everything.
3
Submit your application
Submit the completed application and documents to the embassy or consulate. Some missions require an in-person appointment; others accept courier submissions. Pay the visa fee as instructed.
4
Wait for processing
Processing can take 2–4 weeks or longer. Check with the embassy for current timelines. 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. Verify the dates and personal details are correct. At Khartoum International Airport, present your passport and visa at immigration — have your hotel address and return ticket ready.
