Arriving in South Sudan and ports of entry

Carry your printed or saved eVisa, present it with your passport at the port of entry, and be ready for health-document checks.

When you arrive in South Sudan you present your visa to the visa officer at the port of entry, who verifies it and checks your travel documents; the official portal says this takes about five minutes. eVisa holders should carry the PDF either printed or saved on a mobile device, along with the passport used in the application.

The main international gateway is Juba International Airport, and land borders serve regional travel. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is commonly requested on entry, so confirm and carry proof if required. Because conditions in South Sudan can change, check current travel and security advice before departure.

At the border

  • Have your eVisa PDF ready (printed or on your phone) with your passport
  • Allow time for the officer to verify the visa and documents
  • Carry a yellow fever vaccination certificate if required
  • Confirm which ports of entry accept the eVisa before you travel
