Processing typically takes 1 to 3 weeks. Apply well in advance — at least a month before your planned departure.
Visa fees vary by embassy and visa type. Expect to pay around 50–100 USD for a single-entry tourist visa. Check with the Sudanese embassy in Jakarta for the exact amount.
Sudan requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Indonesia is not on that list, but if you have recently traveled to an affected country, you may need proof. Check with the embassy.
Extensions are not available for Indonesian passport holders under standard tourist visas. You must leave before your visa expires.
Overstaying can result in fines, detention, or a ban from re-entering. Always leave before your visa expiry date.
The security situation in Sudan can change rapidly. Check your government's travel advisories before booking. Travel insurance with evacuation coverage is strongly recommended.
