Uzbek citizens need a visa to enter Sudan. You must arrange this at a Sudanese embassy or consulate before you travel — there's no visa on arrival and no eVisa option for Uzbek passport holders. Plan ahead, because the process involves paperwork and can take a couple of weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Sudan entry visaYou cannot get a visa on arrival or through an online system — you must visit a Sudanese diplomatic mission. Apply at an embassy/consulate | Uzbek citizens must obtain a Sudan visa before travel. There is no eVisa option for Uzbek passport holders. Apply at the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate well in advance of your departure date. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, you may be denied boarding or entry. Minimum 6 months | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Sudan. Check your passport's expiry date before booking. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe immigration officer needs a clean page to place your entry stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least 1 blank visa/stamp page for the Sudanese entry stamp. Ensure no pages are damaged or missing. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketYou need to show you plan to leave Sudan before your visa expires. Proof of departure | Carry a printed or digital copy of your return or onward flight ticket showing departure from Sudan within the allowed stay period. Immigration may request this at entry. | Required |
| Proof of fundsHaving proof of money helps convince immigration you can support yourself. Sufficient for stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds (cash, bank statement, or credit card) to cover your stay in Sudan. The amount is not fixed but should match your planned duration. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any arrival declaration beyond the standard immigration form. Not required | Sudan does not require an arrival declaration form for Uzbek citizens. No separate online or paper declaration is needed at entry. | Not required |
| Visa application documentsEach embassy may have slightly different paperwork — always verify directly. Check with embassy | Prepare the documents required by the Sudanese embassy for your visa application, such as a completed application form, passport-sized photos, invitation letter (if applicable), and visa fee. Confirm exact requirements with the embassy. | Required |
No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Uzbek citizens cannot get a visa on arrival in Sudan. If you fly without a visa, you'll be denied entry and sent back at your own expense. Always secure your visa before departure.
Check security situation before travel
Sudan has ongoing political instability and conflict in some regions. Check your government's travel advisories and register with your embassy if possible. Conditions can change quickly.
Embassy locations
There may not be a Sudanese embassy in Tashkent. The nearest likely options are in Moscow (Russia) or Ankara (Turkey). Contact them directly for the most current requirements.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the Sudanese embassy or consulate that covers Uzbekistan — likely in Moscow, Tashkent (if there's a consulate), or another regional hub. Call or email them to confirm the exact application procedure, required documents, and fee. Some embassies require an in-person appointment; others accept applications by mail.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather your passport, photos, invitation letter, bank statements, and completed application form. Make photocopies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least 6 months validity and 1 blank page.
3
Submit your application and pay the fee
Submit your documents in person or by mail, depending on the embassy's rules. Pay the visa fee as instructed. You'll likely receive a receipt or tracking number — keep it safe.
4
Wait for processing
Processing typically takes 5–10 working days, but can stretch to 2–3 weeks. Check with the embassy for current timelines. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand.
5
Collect your passport with the visa
Once approved, collect your passport or have it returned by mail. Check the visa sticker for correct dates, name spelling, and validity. 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, and be ready to answer questions about your purpose of visit. Have your invitation letter and proof of funds handy. Immigration officers may ask for them.
