Tips for Germany travelers

  • Apply at least a month before travel given unpredictable embassy processing times

  • Carry printed copies of your visa, invitation letter and yellow fever certificate at all times
  • Extensions inside Sudan are handled by the Aliens Registration Office in Khartoum, where security conditions permit
