Check travel advisories before booking
Sudan is experiencing armed conflict and civil unrest. Many governments advise against all but essential travel. Review your home country's travel advisory and consider whether the trip is necessary.

Once you enter Sudan, you cannot extend your stay. Make sure your travel dates align with your visa validity, and leave before it expires to avoid fines or legal issues.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the Sudanese diplomatic mission that covers your country of residence. Call or email them to confirm the exact visa requirements, fees, and whether you need to apply in person or can send documents by mail.

Prepare your application documents
Gather your passport, photos, completed application form, flight itinerary, accommodation proof, and any other documents the embassy requested. Make photocopies of everything for your records.

Submit your application and pay the fee
Deliver your application package to the embassy or consulate, either in person or by courier as instructed. Pay the visa fee and obtain a receipt. Ask about the expected processing time — it can range from a few days to a few weeks.

Arrive in Sudan and go through immigration
At Khartoum International Airport or other entry points, present your passport with the visa to immigration officers. They may ask about your purpose of visit and where you are staying. Have your accommodation details and return ticket handy.
