Apply well in advance
Sudanese visa processing can be unpredictable. Start the process at least 4 weeks before your trip. Some embassies have limited hours or require appointments — call ahead.
Travel insurance is a smart move
While not always mandatory for the visa, medical care in Sudan is limited and can be expensive. A comprehensive policy covering evacuation is strongly recommended.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the Sudanese embassy or consulate in your region (e.g., in Lima, Peru, or the closest one in a neighboring country). Call or email to confirm the exact application process, required documents, and fee. Some embassies accept applications by mail; others require an in-person visit.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: valid passport with 6+ months validity, completed application form, two passport photos, return ticket, accommodation proof, and travel insurance. Make photocopies of everything.
3
Submit your application
Submit the application and documents to the embassy or consulate — either in person or by mail, depending on their rules. Pay the visa fee. Processing typically takes 5–10 business days, but can be longer during peak times.
4
Collect your visa
Once approved, collect your passport with the visa sticker. Check the visa details (dates, number of entries) for accuracy before leaving the embassy. If applying by mail, include a prepaid return envelope.
5
Enter Sudan
At Khartoum International Airport or any land border, present your passport with the visa, return ticket, and accommodation proof. Immigration may ask a few questions — answer honestly. Keep your documents handy.

Frequently asked questions
No. Peru is not on the list of countries eligible for visa on arrival. You must obtain a visa from a Sudanese embassy or consulate before traveling.
Processing typically takes 5–10 business days, but can take longer during busy periods or if additional documents are requested. Apply at least 3–4 weeks before your trip.
The fee varies by embassy. Expect to pay between $50 and $150 USD. Contact the specific embassy for the exact amount and accepted payment methods (cash, bank transfer, etc.).
Extensions are possible but not guaranteed. You must apply at the Passports and Immigration Authority in Khartoum before your visa expires. The process can be bureaucratic, so plan accordingly.
Sudan requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever. Peru is not considered a risk country, but check current requirements with the embassy — it's safer to get the vaccine and carry the certificate.
Your visa application will likely be rejected. Renew your passport first, then apply for the visa. The 6-month rule is strictly enforced.
No. There is no e-visa system for Sudan. All applications must go through an embassy or consulate. Some embassies allow you to submit documents by mail, but the visa sticker is placed in your passport physically.
