How to get South Sudan Visa

  

Entry visa: required, to be requested from the Embassy of the Republic of South Sudan in Rome (Viale del Policlinico, 131 - 00161 Rome - tel. 06/83955977, e-mail: ssudemb.rome@protonmail.com. open from Monday to Friday from 9.00 to 15.00

 

It should be borne in mind that the very kind and efficient employee of the Embassy always replies to email and telephone.

 

Keep in mind that the Embassy of the Republic of South Sudan in Rome does not issue tourist visas but only an "Official" visa, which can be obtained in about 5 working days by submitting the following documentation also by post:

 

• 2 color passport photos taken recently;

• passport;

•          invitation letter;

• Identity document of the inviting party;

• Completed and signed entry visa application form that the embassy secretary sent me by e-mail;

• copy of the International Certificate of Vaccination (yellow fever);

• copy of the health card;

• copy of the identity card;

• 100 Euros in cash;

 

I obtained the invitation letter for free, in just 2 days, from the facility where I stayed in Juba, namely the Afex River Camp (e-mail: rivercamp.manager@afexgroup.com).

On the invitation letter, the reason for the trip was written: Businnes.

 

Before sending the documentation to the Embassy, ​​send the invitation letter via email, so that the secretary can check it.

 

Please note that the aforementioned visa is valid for 30 days from the date of issue of the South Sudan Embassy in Rome.

 

Please note that the South Sudan Visa can also be obtained at the South Sudan Consulate in Khartoum in Sudan, located in Al Sharif al Hindi Street, not far from the British Embassy. It is open from Monday to Friday and issues tourist visas on the same day without the need to present a letter of invitation, but a hotel booking on Booking.com and a flight booking is sufficient.

 

Same thing happens at the Sudan Embassy in Kampala in Uganda.

 

Keep in mind that the foreigner (holder of an ordinary passport) is required to declare his presence to the competent authority (Alien Registration Office located in Konyo Konyo in the center of Juba) within 72 hours of entering the country, at a cost of 10,000 SSP. Having stayed 66 hours in the country, I did not register even though the immigration officer turned up his nose a little when leaving the country, but then let me pass.
