Common questions

Can a Chinese passport holder with a valid U.S. visa enter South Sudan visa-free?

No sourced visa waiver was found for holding a U.S. visa. The Embassy of South Sudan in Washington says Asian passport holders must fulfill visa requirements, and the U.S. Department of State says travelers must apply for and obtain a South Sudan visa before arrival; these sources do not list a waiver for holding a U.S. visa.

Does a British passport holder need a visa for a short tourist or business visit to South Sudan?

Yes. UK travel advice states that a visa is required to enter or transit South Sudan and points to online or embassy application routes; the Embassy of South Sudan in Washington also states that eVisa/online visa application is temporarily suspended and European nationals must fulfill visa requirements.

Can a U.S. passport holder get the South Sudan visa after arrival?

Do not rely on obtaining it after arrival. The U.S. Department of State states that travelers must apply for and obtain a visa before arriving and that border officials will not allow entry without a valid visa; the South Sudan Embassy also lists pre-arrival visa application requirements.

Does an APEC Business Travel Card give visa-free entry to South Sudan?

No visa-free entry can be sourced from the ABTC. APEC’s official ABTC page describes the card as facilitating short-term business travel within APEC economies; South Sudan is not an APEC economy. South Sudan sources still require visas for the relevant foreign passports.
