Step-by-Step Application Process

Contact the Embassy

Contact the Embassy of Sudan in Madrid to inquire about current visa issuance policies, as these change rapidly due to the security situation.

Gather Documentation

Prepare your passport, visa application form, photos, and a strong letter of invitation or sponsorship from an entity within Sudan.

Submit Application

Submit your application and passport to the embassy. Processing times can be lengthy and unpredictable.

Required Documents

—Valid Spanish Passport (must be valid for at least 6 months, with empty pages)
—Completed visa application form
—Recent passport-sized photographs
—Letter of Invitation/Sponsorship from a Sudanese host or organization
—Proof of Yellow Fever Vaccination (if arriving from an endemic area)

Important Tips

•WARNING: Most Western governments strictly advise against all travel to Sudan due to armed conflict, civil unrest, and terrorism. Airports may close without warning.
•The local currency is the Sudanese Pound (SDG). The economy is cash-based. Bring US Dollars to exchange, as credit cards and ATMs are generally non-functional for foreigners due to sanctions.
•If you must travel, professional security arrangements and evacuation plans are mandatory.
•Islamic law is strictly enforced. Dress very conservatively and avoid any alcohol consumption.
•Do not photograph military or strategic sites.

Easiest Way to Get It

Contact the Sudanese Embassy in Madrid to understand the current (and highly restricted) visa requirements, secure a strong local sponsor, and submit your application well in advance of essential travel.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.

Discover Sudan

Sudan, a land of immense history and legendary hospitality, is the gateway between the Arab world and Sub-Saharan Africa. Home to more pyramids than Egypt, particularly the stunning royal necropolis of Meroë, it offers a deep journey into ancient Nubian civilizations. From the confluence of the Blue and White Nile in Khartoum to the vibrant Red Sea coral reefs and the timeless desert landscapes, Sudan is a destination for the intrepid traveler seeking untold history and a warm, welcoming spirit.

Khartoum

The sprawling capital where the Blue and White Niles meet, home to the National Museum and the bustling markets of Omdurman.

Port Sudan

The country's main port on the Red Sea, a gateway to some of the world's most pristine and untouched coral reefs.

Best Time: November to February (The cool and dry winter season, making it the most comfortable time for desert exploration)

Currency: Sudanese Pound (SDG)

Daily Budget: $100-220/day (Costs vary significantly due to security and economic fluctuations)

Safety & Scams

Current travel to many parts of Sudan, including Khartoum, is highly risky and officially discouraged due to ongoing conflict and instability; consult official government travel advisories; malaria is prevalent—malaria prophylaxis is essential; tap water is not safe—drink only bottled or treated water; respect local Islamic laws and dress conservatively.

Getting Around

Internal travel is severely disrupted by current conflict; domestic flights and buses were the primary means between cities; within cities, rickshaws (rakshas) were popular; humanitarian or private security transport is necessary for foreigners in the current climate.

Cultural Etiquette

Sudanese hospitality is famous; follow Islamic norms (modest dress, no alcohol); remove shoes before entering homes or mosques; always eat and shake hands with your right hand.

Internet & Connectivity

Digital infrastructure exists but is frequently disrupted by the current situation; 4G is provided via Zain, MTN, and Sudani in stable areas; speeds can be slow and access restricted.
