South Korea to South Sudan visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit South Sudan for tourism. Apply online at the official portal (evisa.gov.ss) before travel; there is no visa-free entry or visa on arrival for Korean citizens. As of 2026, a South Korea (KR) ordinary passport holder traveling to South Sudan for tourism or a short visit must obtain an eVisa before departure. South Sudan grants visa-free entry only to citizens of Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, and visa on arrival only to nationals of Burundi and Rwanda (plus diplomatic/official passport holders). All other nationalities, including South Korea, must apply for an electronic visa through the official Government of South Sudan portal at evisa.gov.ss, operated by the Directorate of Civil Registry, Nationality, Passports and Immigration. The eVisa is issued for single or multiple entry; the typical tourist option is a single-entry visa allowing a short stay (commonly up to 30 days within a validity window). The passport must be valid for at least 6 months (some sources cite 180 days from arrival) with a blank page for endorsement, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry. Standard processing is roughly 3-5 business days, with the e-visa PDF available within about 72 hours; applicants should apply close to the travel date as some channels accept submissions only within a short window before entry. Given that no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel exists for Korean nationals, the conservative and correct verdict is eVisa.
