No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Peruvian citizens cannot get a visa on arrival in Sudan. Arriving without a visa means you'll be refused entry and sent back. Always secure your visa before departure.
No Sudanese embassy in Peru
You'll need to apply through a Sudanese embassy in another country, such as Brazil or the United States, or use a visa service. Start the process early to account for mailing and processing times.
Visa is not extendable
Your Sudanese visa cannot be extended. Plan your stay carefully and leave before the visa expires to avoid fines or legal issues.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the Sudanese embassy or consulate that covers your region. In Peru, there is no Sudanese embassy, so you'll likely need to apply through the Sudanese embassy in a neighboring country (e.g., Brazil or the United States) or via a visa service. Call or email them to confirm the exact application process and requirements.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: your passport, completed application form, photos, flight itinerary, accommodation proof, and yellow fever certificate. Make copies of everything for your records.
3
Submit your application and pay the fee
Send or hand-deliver your application package to the embassy or consulate. Pay the visa fee as instructed. Processing times vary — ask for an estimate. Some embassies allow mailing, others require in-person submission.
4
Wait for processing
Processing can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Check with the embassy for current timelines. Do not book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand.
5
Collect your visa and verify details
Once approved, you'll receive your passport with the visa sticker. Check that your name, passport number, and validity dates are correct. If anything is wrong, contact the embassy immediately.
6
Arrive in Sudan and go through immigration
At Khartoum International Airport (or other entry points), present your passport with the visa, your yellow fever certificate, and any other documents requested. Immigration officers may ask about your purpose of visit and accommodation. Be prepared to show your hotel booking or invitation letter.
