Brazil to South Sudan visa requirements

Brazilian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter South Sudan. The fastest and recommended route is the official South Sudan eVisa, applied for online before travel at evisa.gov.ss. There is no visa-free or general visa-on-arrival access for Brazilians. South Sudan operates a universal eVisa system: every visitor must obtain an electronic visa before arrival unless they are of South Sudanese origin, a national of one of the four visa-exempt countries (Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda), or eligible for visa on arrival (Burundi and Rwanda nationals, plus diplomatic/official passport holders). Brazil is not on any exemption or visa-on-arrival list, so a Brazilian ordinary passport holder must apply for the eVisa through the official government portal (evisa.gov.ss) before flying. Applicants create an account, complete the form, upload a passport bio-page scan and photo, supply supporting documents (yellow fever certificate, return ticket, hotel booking or invitation), and pay the fee by card. For nationals outside Africa and the East African Community, the single-entry tourist eVisa fee is USD 100; multiple-entry options (3- and 6-month validity) cost more. The eVisa PDF is normally issued within about 72 hours (official guidance allows up to several business days), must be printed in color, and is presented to the immigration officer at the port of entry alongside the passport. The passport must be valid at least six months with blank pages, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. Travelers should also note South Sudan's elevated security situation and check government travel advisories before booking.
