Malaysia to Sudan visa requirements
Malaysian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Sudan. There is no visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or reliable tourist eVisa channel; the visa must be obtained in advance from a Sudanese embassy or consulate before travel. A Malaysian (MY) ordinary passport holder traveling to Sudan (SD) for tourism or a short visit requires a visa arranged in advance. Sudan does not grant visa-free entry, visa-on-arrival, or an electronic visa to Malaysian tourists; applications are made through a Sudanese diplomatic mission abroad (Sudan has no resident embassy in Malaysia, so applications are typically routed via the nearest accredited mission, e.g. in another regional capital, or by courier). Required documents include a passport valid at least 6 months, a completed application form, passport photos, proof of funds, confirmed travel arrangements and usually a sponsor or invitation letter. The published embassy fee is around USD 154, with processing of up to 10 working days, though times are unpredictable. Visas are normally single-entry, allowing roughly 30 days' stay, and all visitors must complete police/aliens registration within 3 days of arrival. CRITICAL CONTEXT: Sudan has been in active civil war since April 2023. As of 2026 the US, UK and Australian governments maintain "do not travel" advisories, Khartoum International Airport is closed, most embassies and consular services are suspended, and only Port Sudan handles limited international flights. Tourist travel is effectively not viable and strongly advised against. This guide describes the formal visa rule; travelers should treat actual entry as severely restricted by the security situation.
