United Arab Emirates to South Sudan visa requirements

UAE ordinary passport holders need a visa for South Sudan. The official eVisa portal lists United Arab Emirates as eligible and shows fees of USD 100 for single entry, USD 200 for a 3-month multiple-entry visa, and USD 350 for a 6-month multiple-entry visa. Apply online before travel and download the approved PDF eVisa within the portal process; do not rely on visa-free entry or visa on arrival. A United Arab Emirates ordinary passport holder traveling to South Sudan for tourism requires a visa. South Sudan's official eVisa system is administered by the Ministry of Interior / Directorate of Civil Registry, Nationality, Passports and Immigration, and its eligibility table lists United Arab Emirates as eligible. The previous entry's variable-fee language was not supported by the current official fee table. The official eVisa eligibility page lists USD 100 for a single-entry visa, USD 200 for a 3-month multiple-entry visa, and USD 350 for a 6-month multiple-entry visa. The official portal says travelers can download the eVisa PDF from anywhere within 72 hours, then print it and present it to the visa officer at the port of entry for verification and stamping. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa pages confirm that single-entry visas are for travelers from countries that require a visa for business or tourism, and that South Sudanese embassies or consulates may also issue multiple-entry visas depending on the reason for travel. Travelers should hold a passport valid at least 6 months, proof of onward/return travel, accommodation or host details, yellow fever vaccination proof, and security-aware travel plans.
