Czech citizens need a visa to enter Sudan. You must arrange this before you travel — there are no visa-on-arrival options for Czech passport holders as of 2026. Plan ahead, as the application process can take several weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Visa required — apply before travel | Czech passport holders need a visa for Sudan. Apply at the Sudan Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal or the nearest Sudanese embassy. Processing times vary — start at least 4 weeks before departure.Apply for visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Sudan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Khartoum Airport ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a digital version ready on your phone. Without one, you may be refused entry. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Hotel booking confirmation or a letter of invitation from a host in Sudan. Immigration may ask for it, especially if you are arriving without a pre-arranged visa. Keep a printed copy handy. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Carry enough cash (USD or EUR) to cover your stay — Sudan has limited ATM access and credit cards are rarely accepted. A bank statement showing at least $500–$1,000 is a good safety net. | Recommended |
Visa required — no exceptions
Czech citizens cannot enter Sudan without a pre-approved visa. There are no visa-on-arrival or e-visa options. Plan ahead and apply at least 4 weeks before travel.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Sudan, not from when you leave. Double-check your expiry date before applying.

Frequently asked questions
No. Czech passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling. There is no visa-on-arrival option at any Sudanese airport or land border.
Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks, sometimes longer. Apply at least a month before your planned departure to be safe.
Fees vary by embassy and visa type. Expect to pay around €50–€100 for a single-entry tourist visa. Check with the specific embassy for exact amounts.
If you're staying airside and not passing through immigration, you may not need a visa. But if you need to leave the transit area or stay overnight, you'll need a visa. Confirm with your airline.
Extensions are possible but not guaranteed. You'd need to visit the Passport and Immigration Office in Khartoum. The process can be slow and bureaucratic.
Your visa application will likely be rejected. Renew your passport first, then apply for the visa.
Not officially, but it's strongly recommended. Medical facilities are basic, and evacuation to a better-equipped country can be very expensive.
