Moroccan citizens cannot get a visa at the border. Arriving without a visa means you will be denied entry and likely put on the next flight back. Apply well in advance.
Check with the embassy before applying
Requirements can change without notice. Always confirm the exact document list and fees with the Sudanese embassy or consulate where you plan to apply — do not rely solely on this page.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the nearest Sudanese diplomatic mission — likely in Rabat or a neighboring country. Call or email to confirm the exact application procedure, required documents, and fee. Some missions require an in-person appointment.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, form, accommodation proof, flight itinerary, bank statements. Make photocopies of everything — the embassy may keep copies and return originals.
3
Submit your application
Deliver your application in person or by mail if the embassy allows. If applying in person, expect to wait while they review your documents. Processing times vary — ask for the expected timeline when you submit.
4
Collect your visa
Once approved, you will receive a visa sticker in your passport. Check the validity dates and the number of entries (single or multiple) before leaving the embassy. If anything looks wrong, ask immediately.
5
Arrive in Sudan
At Khartoum International Airport or other entry points, present your passport with the visa to immigration. They may ask about your purpose of visit and where you are staying. Have your accommodation details handy.
