Mozambican passport holders need a visa to enter Sudan. You must arrange this before you travel — there is no visa-on-arrival option for Mozambican citizens. Plan ahead and apply through the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa for SudanYou cannot get a visa on arrival or online; you must visit an embassy or consulate in advance. Required for Mozambique passport holders | A visa is required for all travel to Sudan. Since you are not eligible for an eVisa, you must apply at a Sudanese embassy or consulate before departure. Submit your application well in advance, as processing can take several weeks. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, you may be denied boarding or entry. At least 6 months beyond your intended stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Sudan. Check your passport's expiry date before booking travel. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe entry stamp needs a clean page; otherwise, you might be refused entry. At least 1 blank page for entry stamp | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for the Sudanese entry stamp. Ensure no pages are damaged or torn. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketYou must show you intend to leave Sudan; a ticket is the standard proof. Proof of departure from Sudan | Immigration may ask to see a confirmed return or onward ticket showing you will leave Sudan before your visa expires. Have a printed copy or accessible electronic copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of sufficient fundsImmigration may ask how you will support yourself; having proof avoids issues. For your stay in Sudan | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay, such as recent bank statements or cash. The amount is not fixed but should match your planned length of stay. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou do not need to fill out any arrival form before landing. Not required for Mozambique passport holders | No arrival declaration is required for Sudan when entering with a Mozambique passport. | Not required |
| eVisa applicationOnly certain nationalities can use the eVisa; yours is not one of them. Not available for Mozambique passport holders | Sudan's eVisa program is not available to Mozambique passport holders. Do not attempt to apply online; instead, use the embassy/consulate route. | Not required |
No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Mozambican 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. Always secure your visa before departure.
Visa not extendable
Your Sudanese visa cannot be extended. Plan your stay carefully and leave before the visa expiry date to avoid fines or legal trouble.
Yellow fever certificate is mandatory
Sudan enforces the yellow fever vaccination requirement strictly. Without the certificate, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated on arrival — which can be costly and inconvenient.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the Sudanese embassy or consulate responsible for Mozambique. This could be in Maputo or in a neighbouring country like South Africa or Kenya. Call or email them to confirm the exact application procedure, required documents, and fee.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, flight itinerary, accommodation proof, and yellow fever certificate. Make photocopies of everything for your records.
3
Submit your application in person or by mail
Depending on the embassy, you may need to appear in person for biometrics or an interview. Some embassies accept applications by mail. Follow their instructions exactly to avoid delays.
4
Wait for processing
Processing times vary — typically 5 to 10 working days, but can take longer. Check with the embassy for current timelines. Do not book non-refundable flights until you have the visa.
5
Collect your passport with the visa
Once approved, you'll get your passport back with the visa sticker. Verify the dates and spelling of your name before leaving the embassy. If anything is wrong, ask for a correction immediately.
6
Arrive in Sudan and go through immigration
At Khartoum International Airport or another entry point, present your passport with the visa, yellow fever certificate, and any other documents the officer asks for. Be prepared to answer questions about your trip.
