Argentina to South Sudan visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter South Sudan. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Argentine citizens, but an electronic visa (eVisa) is available online via the official portal evisa.gov.ss before travel. As of mid-2026, South Sudan requires a visa from Argentine (AR) ordinary passport holders for tourism and short visits. South Sudan operates an official eVisa system run by its Ministry of Interior, Directorate of Civil Registry, Nationality, Passports and Immigration (evisa.gov.ss / eservices.gov.ss), and Argentine nationals are eligible to apply. Visa-on-arrival is not offered to Argentine citizens, so the eVisa must be obtained before departure. The eVisa is issued in three tiers: 30 days single entry (about USD 100), 90 days multiple entry (about USD 200), and 180 days multiple entry (about USD 350). Applicants need a passport valid at least six months with blank pages, a yellow fever vaccination certificate, proof of onward/return travel, accommodation details, sufficient funds, and a passport photo. Official guidance asks travelers to allow at least seven working days; commercial processing services advertise approval within roughly 3-5 business days (and expedited 1-3 days). The approved eVisa PDF must be printed in color and presented to the immigration officer at the port of entry. South Sudan is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers should always reconfirm requirements close to departure, as fees and procedures can change and South Sudan carries active travel advisories.
