Check security situation before travel
Sudan has areas with ongoing conflict and civil unrest. Check your government's travel advisories and register with your embassy upon arrival. Avoid non-essential travel to conflict zones.
What happens at the border

Contact the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the Sudanese diplomatic mission responsible for your area (e.g., in Algiers or a neighboring country). Call or email to confirm visa requirements, fees, and whether you need an appointment.

Gather your passport, photos, completed form, travel itinerary, and any supporting documents. Make copies of everything for your records.

Frequently asked questions
No. Algerian passport holders are not eligible for visa-on-arrival in Sudan. You must obtain a visa from a Sudanese embassy or consulate before you travel.
Processing typically takes 5 to 10 business days, but it can take longer depending on the embassy and time of year. It is best to apply at least 3-4 weeks before your planned departure.
Visa fees vary by embassy and visa type (single entry vs. multiple entry). Contact the Sudanese embassy or consulate where you apply for the exact fee. Expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $150, but confirm directly.
No, the visa is not extendable. You must leave Sudan before your visa expires. Overstaying can result in fines or other penalties.
Even for transit, you may need a visa unless you stay airside and do not pass through immigration. Check with the airline and the Sudanese embassy — do not assume you can transit without a visa.
Sudan requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate for travelers arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission. Algeria is not a yellow fever risk country, but if you have recently traveled to a risk area, you will need the certificate. Check current health requirements before you go.
If your visa is denied, the embassy will typically inform you of the reason. You can reapply with additional documentation or address the issue. There is no formal appeal process, so it is best to ensure your application is complete and accurate the first time.
