Singapore to South Sudan visa requirements

Singapore ordinary passport holders need a visa for South Sudan and should apply online for the official eVisa at evisa.gov.ss before travel. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Singaporeans. A Singapore (SG) ordinary passport holder traveling to South Sudan (SS) for tourism must obtain an electronic visa (eVisa) before departure. South Sudan's official eVisa system (evisa.gov.ss) is open to citizens of all countries. Only Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda enjoy visa-free entry, while Burundi and Rwanda (plus diplomatic/official passport holders of any country) can obtain a visa on arrival; Singapore is not in any of these groups, so an eVisa is mandatory. The single-entry tourist eVisa is typically valid for entry within 90 days of issue and permits a stay of up to 90 days; a multiple-entry option (around 180 days validity) is also offered. The government fee for most nationalities is about USD 100, with standard processing usually completed within 3-5 business days (the portal advertises PDF delivery within 72 hours). A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required for entry, along with a passport valid at least 6 months, passport photos, and proof of accommodation. Travelers should apply only through the official portal to avoid third-party markups, and check current security and travel advisories before booking, as South Sudan remains a high-risk destination.
