Malaysia to South Sudan visa requirements

Malaysian ordinary passport holders need a visa for South Sudan and should apply online for the official eVisa at evisa.gov.ss before travelling. There is no visa-free entry. A Malaysia (MY) ordinary passport holder is NOT visa-exempt for South Sudan (SS). The Republic of South Sudan operates an official electronic visa system at evisa.gov.ss run by the Directorate of Civil Registry, Nationality, Passports and Immigration. Asian nationals, including Malaysians, can apply online for a single-entry tourist eVisa, typically valid for entry with a 30-day stay. The government fee for Asian-passport holders is USD 100 for a single entry (multiple-entry options cost more). Processing is generally completed within about 72 hours, though officials advise allowing several working days. Travellers must upload a passport bio-page, a yellow fever vaccination certificate (mandatory), a recent photo, and a hotel booking or invitation letter, and should carry a return ticket and proof of funds. A limited visa-on-arrival exists at Juba International Airport for some travellers, but it is unreliable and requires crisp USD cash; obtaining the eVisa in advance is strongly recommended. South Sudan is not in the Schengen area, so the 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. South Sudan is also subject to serious travel advisories due to insecurity, so check your government's advice before booking. Because there is no confirmed visa-free channel, the verdict is eVisa (visa required, obtained online).
