Republic of the Sudan

The Sudan tourist or business visa can be valid from eight (8) days to three (3) months. Extensions of periods of stay in the Sudan may be done through the Passport, Immigration and Nationality Office in Khartoum, Sudan.

Visa Approval from the Sudan Ministry of Foreign Affairs is required. The visa approval should be obtained on your behalf by a relative/friend, sponsoring company or organization, business partner or joint venture in Sudan. Visa Approval can also be obtained by an approved hotel/travel agency in Sudan. The applicant should plan their travel carefully as the waiting time for the approval and visa can be 4-8 weeks. Once the Visa Approval is received by the Embassy the processing time is approximately 5 business days.

Please note: Your passport must be free of Israeli visa stamps or markings. The Sudanese Embassy will not accept your application if your passport indicates travel to Israel.
