Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

At the embassy stage, the Embassy of Sudan in Washington advises allowing up to 10 working days for visa processing. Times at other missions vary.

This does not include the earlier stage of obtaining the entry-permit number through the Aliens Department at the Ministry of Interior in Khartoum, which is arranged by the sponsor in Sudan and can add significant time. Because of ongoing conflict, applicants should expect longer and less predictable timelines and start well in advance.
