| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from South Sudan. Have at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers at Juba International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket. Airlines also check this before boarding — have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in South Sudan. Immigration may ask where you're staying, especially if you're arriving without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | Have evidence of sufficient funds for your stay — a bank statement or credit card showing at least $500 USD equivalent. Immigration rarely checks this, but it helps if questioned. | Recommended |

You must show a yellow fever vaccination certificate at immigration. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated at the airport (which is not always available). Get the shot at least 10 days before you travel.
Cash is king in South Sudan
ATMs are rare and unreliable in Juba. Bring enough USD cash for your entire stay. You can exchange at hotels or forex bureaus. Credit cards are not widely accepted.
