No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Myanmar passport holders 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 current safety situation
Sudan has experienced political instability and armed conflict. Before booking travel, check your government's travel advisory for Sudan. If you do travel, register with your embassy and have a contingency plan.
Visa validity and entry dates
Sudanese visas are typically valid for 3 months from the date of issue, but the allowed stay is usually 30 days. Double-check the exact validity and duration on your visa sticker — overstaying is a serious offence.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the Sudanese embassy or consulate that covers your country of residence. Call or email them first to confirm their visa application procedures, required documents, and whether you need to apply in person or can send your passport by mail.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, invitation letter or hotel booking, bank statements, and visa fee. Make photocopies of everything — the embassy will likely keep copies and return your originals.
3
Submit your application
Submit your application at the embassy or consulate. If you're applying by mail, use a trackable courier service. Some embassies require an in-person interview — confirm this in advance.
4
Wait for processing
Processing can take anywhere from 5 to 15 business days, depending on the embassy and the time of year. Check with the embassy for their current processing times. Do not book non-refundable flights until you have your visa in hand.
5
Collect your passport with the visa
Once approved, collect your passport in person or have it returned by courier. Check the visa sticker carefully — verify your name spelling, dates, and the number of entries. If anything is wrong, contact the embassy immediately.
