Russian Federation to South Sudan visa requirements

Russian ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit South Sudan for tourism. South Sudan offers no visa-free entry and no visa-on-arrival to Russian citizens; you must apply online before travel through the official portal at evisa.gov.ss. South Sudan requires a Russian (RU) ordinary passport holder to obtain a visa before arrival for tourism or short visits. Russia is not on South Sudan's short list of visa-exempt countries (only Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda) nor on its visa-on-arrival list (only Burundi and Rwanda, plus diplomatic/official passport holders and certain UN cardholders). The standard channel is the official electronic visa (eVisa) issued by the Directorate of Nationality, Passports and Immigration via evisa.gov.ss, which is open to citizens of all countries and can be issued as single or multiple entry. The applicant creates an account, completes the form, uploads documents (bio-data passport page, photo, yellow fever vaccination certificate, and where required an invitation/proof of accommodation and funds), pays by card and downloads the approved eVisa PDF, typically within a few business days. A passport valid at least six months beyond intended entry (the portal references validity of roughly 180 days from arrival) and a yellow fever certificate are mandatory. Note that South Sudan remains under a strong U.S. and Russian government travel warning due to armed conflict and crime; entry rules and the eVisa platform are subject to change, so confirm current fees and eligibility on the official portal before booking.
