Slovenian passport holders need a visa to enter Sudan for any purpose, including tourism. You must arrange this in advance through a Sudanese embassy or consulate — there is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Slovenian citizens. Plan ahead, as the process involves paperwork and can take several weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa for SudanYou cannot get a visa on arrival or online; you must obtain it before traveling. Apply at an embassy or consulate | A visa is required for Slovenian passport holders.

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. Ensure your passport does not expire within this period. | Required |

| Return or onward ticketImmigration often requires evidence of your departure plans. Proof of departure | You may be asked to show a confirmed return or onward ticket proving you will leave Sudan before your visa or permitted stay expires. | Required |
| Proof of fundsHaving proof of funds helps avoid questions at immigration.

No eVisa or visa on arrival
Slovenian citizens cannot use Sudan's eVisa system or get a visa on arrival. You must apply at a Sudanese embassy or consulate before departure. Don't fall for online services claiming to offer eVisa for Slovenians — they're not legitimate.
Security situation
Sudan has ongoing civil conflict and a volatile security environment. The travel advice from most governments, including Slovenia, is to avoid all travel to Sudan. If you must go, get professional security advice and register with your embassy.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the Sudanese embassy or consulate responsible for Slovenia (often in Vienna, Austria, or another nearby capital). Call or email them to confirm the exact application procedure, required documents, and fee. Some embassies require an in-person appointment.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, invitation/hotel booking, bank statements, itinerary. Make photocopies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least one blank page for the visa sticker.
3
Submit your application
Submit your complete application to the embassy or consulate, either in person or by mail if they allow it. Pay the visa fee and obtain a receipt. Ask how long processing will take — it can range from a few days to several weeks.
4
Wait for processing
Processing times vary. The embassy may need to send your application to Khartoum for approval, which adds time. Follow up if you haven't heard back within the stated timeframe.
5
Collect your passport with visa
Once approved, collect your passport with the visa sticker. Check that your name, passport number, and validity dates are correct before leaving the embassy.
6
Travel to Sudan
At Khartoum International Airport (or other entry points), present your passport with the visa to immigration. Have your return ticket and proof of accommodation ready in case they ask. Expect possible security questioning — answer calmly and truthfully.
