No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Lithuanian citizens cannot get a visa on arrival in Sudan. Arriving without a visa means you'll be refused entry and sent back on the next flight, at your own expense. Always secure your visa before departure.
Check security situation before travel
Sudan has areas with significant security risks. Check your government's travel advisory (e.g., Lithuania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the EU travel advice) before planning your trip. Some regions are off-limits to foreigners.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the Sudanese embassy or consulate responsible for your region (e.g., in Berlin, London, or Warsaw). Call or email them to confirm the exact visa requirements, application form, and fee for Lithuanian citizens. Some embassies require an in-person appointment.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather your passport (valid 6+ months), completed application form, two photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking or invitation letter, and any other documents the embassy requested. Make copies of everything for your records.
3
Submit your application and pay the fee
Submit the package in person or by mail, depending on the embassy's rules. Pay the visa fee as instructed. You may be asked to provide a prepaid return envelope if applying by mail.
4
Wait for processing
Processing typically takes 5–10 business days, but can take longer. Check with the embassy for current timelines. Do not book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand.

Collect your passport with the visa
Once approved, collect your passport or receive it by mail. Verify the visa details (dates, name spelling) immediately. If anything is wrong, contact the embassy right away.
