Do United Kingdom passport holders need a visa to visit SS?

UK passport holders need a visa for South Sudan. The fastest route is the official eVisa at evisa.gov.ss (single-entry, 30-day stay, around USD 100), usually issued within 72 hours. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory on arrival. Note: the FCDO advises against all travel to South Sudan. A United Kingdom ordinary passport holder cannot enter South Sudan visa-free; a visa is required for tourism and short visits. As of 2026, the recommended and fastest channel is the official government eVisa portal (evisa.gov.ss), where travelers create an account, complete the form, pay by card, and download a printable PDF eVisa, typically within 72 hours. The single-entry eVisa permits a stay of about 30 days at roughly USD 100; multiple-entry options (3 or 6 months validity) are also offered at higher fees. Alternatively, the South Sudan Embassy in London issues sticker visas at GBP 50 (1 month) or GBP 100 (3 months) for UK citizens, but this requires in-person submission and an invitation letter, with a minimum 7 working days processing. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry, the passport must be valid at least 6 months beyond arrival with 2 blank pages, and visitors staying 5 days or more must register at a local police station. Critically, the UK FCDO advises against all travel to South Sudan due to the volatile security situation, which affects travel insurance and consular support.
