Visas

British Citizens require visas to visit Sudan. These should be obtained in advance of travel.  Please contact the Sudanese Embassy in London.

If you have a flight out of Sudan, you should note that there are strict exit visa requirements and you must ensure that your travel documents are up to date.

If you do not hold a diplomatic passport you are required to register with the Aliens Department within three days of your arrival in the country (2 passport size photos are needed and the fee is the Sudanese Pound equivalent of around £35).  Once registered, you are not required to obtain an exit visa to leave the country.  You are required to pay US$20 per person airport tax.

You must obtain a permit before travelling outside of Khartoum but within Sudan, you must also register with the police at your new destination within 24 hours of arrival.

 

If your passport has an Israeli visa or Israeli entry/exit stamps you will not be allowed to enter Sudan.

Passport Validity

Your Passport must have a minimum of six months validity from the date of arrival in Sudan.

Travelling with children

Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country.  For further information on exactly what will be required at immigration please contact the Sudanese Embassy in London.
