Türkiye to South Sudan visa requirements

Turkish ordinary passport holders need a visa for South Sudan. The simplest option is the official South Sudan eVisa (evisa.gov.ss), a single-entry tourist visa allowing a 30-day stay, with a standard fee of about USD 100. South Sudan does not grant visa-free entry or visa-on-arrival to Turkish (TR) ordinary passport holders. A visa must be obtained before travel. The recommended channel is the government eVisa portal at evisa.gov.ss, which issues a single-entry tourist visa permitting a stay of up to 30 days. The standard tourist visa fee is approximately USD 100 (paid online by card; fees are applied on a reciprocity basis and may vary by category). Applicants upload a passport bio-page (valid at least 6 months), a passport photo, a yellow fever vaccination certificate, and proof of accommodation/onward travel. Official Ministry guidance cites a baseline processing time of around 7 working days, while the eVisa system markets e-visa delivery within roughly 72 hours; allow extra buffer. South Sudan is NOT in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. As of 2026-05-30 the eVisa route is confirmed open to Turkish citizens, and visa-on-arrival is not available, so travelers should arrange the visa before departure. A yellow fever certificate is required for entry.
