Singapore to Sudan visa requirements

Q: Is there an eVisa for Sudan?

Sudan has referenced an electronic visa system, but it is not a reliable channel for Singaporean tourists, particularly during the ongoing conflict. Plan to apply through an embassy/consulate.

Q: How much does a Sudan visa cost?

The consular fee is around USD 150 (commonly cited at about USD 154), plus any return postage. Fees vary by mission and visa type.

Q: Is it safe to travel to Sudan in 2026?

No. Sudan is in active armed conflict between the SAF and RSF since April 2023. Governments including Singapore advise against all travel, Khartoum airport is closed, and most Western embassies have suspended operations.

Q: Where do Singaporeans apply, since there is no Sudanese embassy in Singapore?

Apply through the Sudanese diplomatic mission accredited to Singapore or a nearby mission, following that mission's procedures, which often allow postal applications.

Q: How long can I stay on a Sudan visa?

A short-visit visa typically allows up to 30 days, at immigration discretion. You must also register with police within 3 days of arrival.

Singapore ordinary passport holders need a visa obtained in advance before traveling to Sudan. There is no visa-on-arrival or functioning eVisa channel for Singaporeans, and tourism is effectively impossible due to the ongoing civil war and "Do Not Travel" advisories. A Singapore ordinary passport holder must obtain a Sudanese entry visa in advance from a Sudanese diplomatic mission before travel. Singapore is not on Sudan's short list of visa-exempt countries (Egypt, Kuwait, UAE, Yemen, Qatar) nor its visa-on-arrival list (Eritrea, Kenya, Malaysia, Turkey), so the standard advance-visa rule applies. Applications require a sponsor/invitation letter, a passport valid at least 6 months, a photo, and a processing fee in the region of USD 150. Critically, Sudan has been in a large-scale armed conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces since April 2023, which continues into 2026. Khartoum International Airport remains closed to civilian flights, most Western embassies (US, UK) have suspended operations, and major governments maintain a Level 4 / "Do Not Travel" advisory. Tourist travel is not viable in practice; any travel would be for essential or humanitarian purposes only. The verdict is firmly visa-required, and travelers should monitor Singapore MFA advisories and contact a Sudanese mission directly, as conditions and visa issuance can change at short notice.
