🇮🇹Italy🇸🇸South SudanIT-SS Italy to South Sudan visa requirements
Italian passport holders need a visa for South Sudan, and the simplest route is the official eVisa applied for online before travel at evisa.gov.ss. South Sudan requires Italian (EU) ordinary passport holders to hold a visa for tourism or any short visit. Italy is not on South Sudan's small visa-exempt list, which covers only Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The recommended and most accessible option is the South Sudan eVisa, issued through the official government portal at evisa.gov.ss and open to citizens of all countries. Travelers create an account, complete the online form, upload their passport bio-data page and supporting documents, pay by card, and receive a PDF eVisa to print and present at the port of entry. The tourist eVisa is available as a single-entry visa (typically 90-day validity, stay up to 90 days) or a multiple-entry visa (longer validity). Required supporting items include a passport valid at least six months with a blank page, a yellow fever vaccination certificate, proof of accommodation or a local address, a return/onward ticket, and proof of sufficient funds. Standard processing is a few business days, but allow extra time. Note that South Sudan is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply; this is a separate national visa. Travelers should also check current security/travel advisories, as much of South Sudan carries elevated risk warnings.
