Indonesia to Sudan visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Sudan for tourism. There is no visa-free entry, no general visa-on-arrival for Indonesians, and Sudan is not in any visa-waiver agreement with Indonesia. The visa must be obtained in advance from a Sudanese embassy or consulate. Note: an active civil war has been ongoing in Sudan since April 2023, tourist visa issuance is largely suspended, and most governments advise against all travel to Sudan. As of 2026, Indonesian ordinary passport holders require a visa to enter Sudan. Sudan does not grant visa-free entry to Indonesian citizens, and there is no bilateral visa-waiver agreement covering ordinary passports. While Sudan technically operates an eVisa system and a limited visa-on-arrival list for some nationalities, Indonesia is not reliably covered for visa-on-arrival, and the practical, authoritative channel is a paper visa issued in advance by a Sudanese diplomatic mission. The application requires a sponsor/invitation, passport valid at least six months, photos, and a fee in the region of USD 150 or more. Processing typically takes about 10 working days but can be longer. Critically, Sudan has been engulfed in armed conflict between the SAF and RSF since April 2023; Khartoum International Airport and many consular services have been disrupted, tourist travel is effectively impossible in much of the country, and foreign ministries (including travel advisories worldwide) strongly recommend against all travel to Sudan. Travelers should treat any tourist plan as not viable under current conditions and confirm directly with the nearest Sudanese mission before making arrangements.
