  • 2. Complete the form accurately and sign it.
  • 3. Gather all required supporting documents as listed in the 'What you need' section.
  • 4. Submit the application form and documents in person or by mail to the Embassy of Sudan. Check with the embassy for specific submission procedures.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa Fee: Approximate fees are listed under 'Visa types'. Actual fees can vary and are subject to change by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sudan and the specific embassy. Fees are typically payable in USD or local currency of the country where the embassy is located.
  • Service Fee: No VFS/BLS service is typically involved for direct embassy applications. The embassy itself handles the application.
  • Total Cost Estimate: USD 100-300, depending on visa type and single/multiple entry.
  • Standard Processing Time: Usually 7-14 working days after submission of a complete application. However, this can be longer depending on the embassy's workload and specific nationality checks.
  • Express/Priority Option: Not commonly offered for Sudanese visas through embassies. It is advisable to apply well in advance.

Tips for Antigua and Barbuda travelers

  • Apply Well in Advance: It is strongly recommended to apply for your visa at least 4-6 weeks before your planned travel date to account for processing times and potential delays.
  • Common Rejection Reasons: Incomplete applications, insufficient financial proof, unclear travel purpose, lack of required supporting documents, or previous visa violations are common reasons for rejection. Ensure all details are accurate and all documents are provided as per the embassy's requirements.
  • Embassy Application: For Antigua and Barbuda citizens, applying directly through the Embassy of Sudan is the most common and reliable method, as e-visa or visa on arrival policies can be complex or not applicable to all nationalities.
  • Travel Advisories: Always check the latest travel advisories issued by your home country's foreign affairs ministry regarding Sudan before planning your trip. Sudan's security situation can change rapidly.
  • Extensions: Visa extensions are possible within Sudan but must be applied for at the immigration authorities in Khartoum before the current visa expires. This process can be bureaucratic and requires valid reasons and documentation.
