Who can visit South Sudan without a visa?

Before you book

Three things to confirm with the South Sudan embassy

• Validity buffer. Most jurisdictions require your passport to remain valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay. South Sudan may be stricter or lighter than that.
• Onward ticket and address. Border officials regularly ask for proof of onward travel and a booked address for the first night. Even visa-free entry can be refused without these.
• Per-entry stay limit. Visa-free does not mean unlimited stay. The headline category here is policy at the consular level; the actual permitted duration per entry is set at the border and varies.

When a second passport would help

If South Sudan is a recurring trip, a stronger passport changes the maths

If you are travelling to South Sudan more than two or three times a year and your current passport requires consular processing for every visit, a second citizenship can pay for itself in time alone. Whether South Sudan is in your mix is one of the questions the eligibility quiz will ask.
