Vietnam to Sudan visa requirements

Yes — a Vietnamese ordinary passport holder needs a visa to enter Sudan. There is no visa-free entry, no visa-on-arrival, and no eVisa for tourists; the visa must be obtained in advance from a Sudanese embassy or consulate. Note that Sudan is under an active armed-conflict "Do Not Travel" advisory and most foreign missions inside Sudan are closed. Vietnamese citizens holding an ordinary passport require a visa to travel to Sudan for tourism or any short visit. Sudan does not grant visa-free access to Vietnamese nationals, has no visa-on-arrival facility for tourists, and operates no functional electronic-visa system for ordinary tourist travel — visas are issued by Sudanese diplomatic missions abroad. Vietnam has no diplomatic mission in Sudan and Sudan has no resident embassy in Hanoi, so applications are typically lodged at the Sudanese embassy accredited to Vietnam (commonly the mission in another regional capital) or at the nearest Sudanese consulate. Standard requirements include a passport valid at least six months with blank pages, a completed application form, photos, a yellow-fever vaccination certificate, proof of accommodation/itinerary and, in many cases, a letter of invitation or sponsorship. The headline consular processing fee is around USD 154 (lower at some embassies), with processing of roughly 10 working days up to about 3 weeks. Critically, as of mid-2026 Sudan remains in active armed conflict: a nationwide "Do Not Travel" advisory is in force, Khartoum International Airport and other sites have been subject to attacks (most recently early May 2026), and major Western embassies inside Sudan have been suspended since April 2023, meaning no routine consular support is available on the ground. Travelers should treat any trip as high-risk and verify the latest position directly with a Sudanese mission before making plans.
