Israel to Sudan visa requirements

Israeli passport holders need a visa to enter Sudan, obtained in advance from a Sudanese embassy or consulate. There is no visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or eVisa channel for Israeli citizens. Note: Sudan is in an active civil war and carries a "Do Not Travel" advisory, so tourist travel is not currently feasible. An Israeli ordinary passport holder must obtain a visa before traveling to Sudan. Although Israel and Sudan signed a normalization agreement in October 2020 under the Abraham Accords, full diplomatic relations and any visa-facilitation channel were never implemented, and the process stalled after Sudan's civil war erupted in April 2023. No visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or eVisa option exists for Israeli nationals; entry requires a paper visa issued by a Sudanese embassy or consulate, supported by a sponsorship letter and other documents. Critically, Sudan is currently engulfed in a large-scale armed conflict, embassy and consular operations are severely disrupted, and Sudan carries a Level 4 "Do Not Travel" advisory from the U.S. State Department and equivalent warnings from other governments. Tourist travel is effectively impossible and strongly discouraged. Travelers should treat this route as visa-required and recognize that, in practice, leisure entry is not currently available.
