Thailand to Sudan visa requirements

Thai (Thailand) ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Sudan. There is no visa-free entry, no eVisa, and no visa on arrival for Thai nationals; the visa must be obtained in advance from a Sudanese embassy or consulate before travel. As of 2026, holders of an ordinary Thailand passport require a visa to travel to Sudan for tourism or any short visit. Sudan does not offer Thai citizens a visa-free channel, an electronic visa, or a visa on arrival; the entry visa must be applied for and issued by a Sudanese diplomatic mission before departure. There is no Sudanese embassy in Bangkok, so Thai travelers typically apply through an accredited Sudanese mission (often the embassy accredited to Thailand in another country, or via the consular section that handles the region) or use the nearest mission. Sudan's published consular fee for an entry visa is approximately USD 154, processing generally takes up to 10 working days but can run several weeks because applications are frequently referred to authorities in Khartoum for approval. The single-entry tourist visa is typically valid for entry within a defined window (commonly up to 2 months) with a short authorized stay. Critically, all foreign visitors must register with the Aliens Registration Office within 3 days of arrival (a separate in-country fee applies). Travelers should also be aware that Sudan is under active armed conflict; most foreign ministries advise against all travel to Sudan, commercial flights are severely limited, and consular services are minimal. The visa-required verdict is confirmed by Wikipedia's visa requirements for Thai citizens, Sherpa visa data, and the official Sudanese embassy site, none of which provide any no-visa route for Thai passport holders.
