Hungarian passport holders need a visa to enter Sudan. You must arrange this before you travel — there is no visa-on-arrival option for Hungarian citizens. Plan ahead and apply through the Sudanese embassy or consulate, as there is no eVisa system available for your nationality.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa for SudanYou cannot get a visa on arrival or online; you must obtain it from a Sudanese diplomatic mission before you go. Apply at an embassy/consulate | A visa is required for Hungarian citizens. Sudan does not offer an eVisa for your nationality, so you must apply at a Sudanese embassy or consulate before travel. Submit your application well in advance of your departure date. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires within 6 months of your arrival, you may be denied entry. At least 6 months beyond entry | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Sudan. Check your passport's expiry date before planning travel. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesSudan requires a blank page to stamp your passport upon arrival and departure. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for entry and exit stamps. Ensure there is a clean, unused page available. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketImmigration officials often require evidence of onward travel to ensure you do not overstay. Proof of departure | You may be asked to show a return or onward ticket proving you will leave Sudan before your visa or authorized stay expires. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of fundsWhile not always requested, having proof of funds can help avoid issues at immigration. Sufficient for your stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay in Sudan, such as bank statements or traveler's checks. The amount is not fixed but should cover accommodation and living expenses. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou do not need to fill out any arrival form before landing. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Hungarian citizens entering Sudan based on current regulations. | Not required |
| eVisa applicationThere is no online visa system for your nationality, so any eVisa website is not legitimate for you. Not available | Sudan does not offer an eVisa for Hungarian passport holders. Do not attempt to apply online; instead, use the embassy/consulate route. | Not required |
No eVisa option for Hungarian citizens
Despite any general information about Sudan's eVisa system, Hungarian passport holders are not eligible. You must apply through an embassy or consulate — do not attempt to use an online eVisa portal, as it will not work for you.
Security situation
Sudan has ongoing conflict and civil unrest. Travel advisories from Hungary and the EU strongly advise against non-essential travel. If you must go, have a robust safety plan and stay in contact with your embassy.

Frequently asked questions
No. Hungarian passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling. There is no visa-on-arrival facility for Hungarian citizens at Sudanese airports or land borders.
Processing times vary by embassy. Some embassies issue visas in 3-5 working days, while others may take 2-3 weeks. It's best to apply at least a month before your planned travel to avoid delays.
Visa fees are set by the embassy and can change. Expect to pay roughly €50-€100 for a single-entry visa, but confirm the exact amount with the embassy you apply through. Fees are non-refundable.
Sudan requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate for travelers arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission. Even if you're coming directly from Hungary, it's recommended to have the vaccination and carry the certificate, as border officials may ask for it.
Visa extensions are generally not granted for standard tourist visas. The database indicates that the visa is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave the country and re-enter with a new visa, or check with Sudanese immigration authorities for any exceptional cases.
Overstaying can result in fines, detention, or deportation. The exact penalties vary, but it's taken seriously. Always keep track of your visa validity and leave before it expires.
The security situation in Sudan can be volatile. Check your government's travel advisories before booking. If you do travel, register with your embassy and have a solid plan for communication and movement.
