Israeli passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Sudan. There is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Israeli citizens, so you need to apply through a Sudanese embassy or consulate in advance. The process can take several weeks, so start early and prepare all required documents carefully.
