Visa:

It is substantially easy to get a visa from any Sudanese embassy or consulate in your country, prior to arrival and must be applied for four weeks before beginning of the tour [ http://www.sudan-embassy.de/ ]. Some Sudanese embassies insist on an invitation letter from the Sudanese agency; if you send us an scanning copy of your passport details, we can provide this invitation letter. Sometimes visa may be obtained upon arrival at the airport, but this is by no means guaranteed and in any case expensive.

For application you will need:

- A passport that is valid for at least another six months

- One passport-sized photograph

- A completed application form

- Visa fee depends on your nationality.

- Please note that the passport must not contain any Israeli stamps or entries!

Please note that we provide this information for your convenience. It is still your responsibility to check with the Sudanese embassy in your country to make sure that you meet all requirements to ensure entry to Sudan!

There is a passport registration which is done by the company for a fee of ## euro (not included in our rates).
