What you need

  • Passport valid at least 6 months beyond intended stay, with 2+ blank pages
  • Completed visa application form
  • 2 recent passport photos (white background)
  • Invitation letter from a host/sponsor, or confirmed hotel booking
  • Yellow fever vaccination certificate (mandatory for entry into Sudan)
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the trip
  • Return or onward ticket
  • Business applicants need a company sponsor letter

Visa types

  • Tourist visa: single entry, 30 days, extendable in-country, fee around USD 100
  • Business visa: single/multiple entry, 30-90 days, fee around USD 150, requires a sponsor letter
  • Transit visa: 7 days, for travelers continuing to a third country
  • Sudan's visa policy changes frequently given the current political situation, so confirm current requirements with the nearest mission before booking travel.

How to apply

  • Hong Kong has no Sudanese consulate, so applicants typically apply through the nearest Sudanese embassy (such as in Beijing) or a visa agent experienced with Sudan. Required documents are the application form, photos, passport copy, invitation letter, and yellow fever certificate, submitted in person or by courier. Some travelers instead arrange a pre-approved entry letter through a Sudanese sponsor, which must be cleared with Sudanese immigration before arrival at Khartoum International Airport. Standard processing takes 5-10 working days; no formal express service is generally available.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately USD 100 (tourist) to USD 150 (business), depending on entry type
  • Agent/courier handling fee if applying remotely: roughly USD 20-50 extra
  • Standard processing: 5-10 working days
  • Fees are typically paid in USD cash or bank transfer and are non-refundable if the application is denied

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Apply at least 3-4 weeks in advance given the lack of direct consular access from Hong Kong
  • Common rejection reasons: missing yellow fever certificate, incomplete invitation letter, or unclear travel purpose
  • Check Hong Kong government outbound travel advisories before booking, given ongoing security concerns in parts of Sudan
  • Using a visa agent with Sudan-specific experience is strongly recommended
  • Extensions are handled at the Passport and Immigration Department in Khartoum
