How to Get a Diplomatic and Official Visa for Sudan

Sudan Diplomatic and Official Visa

Sudan Diplomatic and Official Visa

If you are a big shot government official or foreign diplomat, you are going to need to get the Diplomatic and Official Visa for Sudan.

I’ll break down for you below what you need to do to get this.

Go to my Sudan visa page for information on other types of visas for Sudan.

Visa required for U.S. citizens before you go to Sudan: Yes. The Government of Sudan requires U.S. citizens to present a passport and an entry visa or entry permit upon arrival at any port of entry.

  • The Government of Sudan routinely denies entry visas to travelers whose passports contain visas issued by the Government of Israel or other evidence of travel to Israel, such as exit or entry stamps.
  • Visitors must register at the Ministry of Interior within three days after arriving in Sudan (many hotels will do this for you, so check with them)
  • All foreigners traveling more than 25 kilometers outside of Khartoum must obtain a travel permit from the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs in Khartoum (this applies to people traveling for any purpose).

Visa required for non-U.S. citizens before you go to Sudan: Yes. Virtually everyone who is not from Sudan and wants to go to Sudan for any purpose will need a visa.
