Poland to Sudan
Do I need a visa for Sudan?
Polish citizens must hold a visa for Sudan and it must be obtained before departure. The permission is a physical visa issued by a Sudanese embassy or consulate. This travel permission does not allow paid work or study.
Which documents do I need?
Your travel document must be an ordinary biometric passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry. A national identity card, a driving licence and a temporary passport are not accepted for entry to Sudan.
Are vaccinations required for Sudan?
Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for entry to Sudan. Make sure you carry the appropriate vaccination certificate to present to border authorities.
Other vaccinations are not specified here.
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
Arrival registration is required and is completed at the border.
Can children travel on this route?
Children and other travellers under 18 must hold the same accepted travel document as adults: an ordinary biometric passport. No additional parental-consent documents or notarised permissions are required for minors on this route.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is recommended and the guidance suggests cover that includes medical transport or evacuation. Insurance is not stated as a condition of entry for Polish tourists.
Where do I get the visa?
The Sudanese visa must be obtained from a Sudanese embassy or consulate before you travel; there is no Sudanese embassy in Poland and the nearest Sudanese mission is in Egypt. When granted, the embassy issues a physical visa document that you carry in your passport.
