Mongolian passport holders need an eVisa to enter South Sudan. Apply online before you travel — it's straightforward and avoids airport hassles. As of 2026, the eVisa is the standard entry method for tourism and short business visits.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | South Sudan requires all foreign nationals to obtain an eVisa before arrival. Apply at the South Sudan Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal at least 2 weeks before your trip. The eVisa is single-entry and typically processed within 5–7 business days.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from South Sudan. Airlines at Ulaanbaatar check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Juba International Airport ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket. Without one, you risk being refused entry and sent back on the next flight. Budget airlines flying into Juba also check this at check-in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Have a hotel booking or letter of invitation ready. Immigration may ask where you are staying, and having a printed confirmation speeds up the process. If staying with friends, get their contact details and address written down. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Carry at least $500 USD in cash or a bank statement showing sufficient funds. South Sudan is a cash-based economy — credit cards are rarely accepted outside major hotels. Immigration may ask how you plan to support yourself during your stay. | Recommended |
Security situation
South Sudan has active conflict zones. Check your government's travel advisory before booking. If you go, register with your embassy and avoid travel outside Juba without a local guide.
Yellow fever vaccine
You may be asked for proof of yellow fever vaccination on arrival, especially if you've recently been in an affected country. Get the shot and carry the certificate.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for eVisa online
Go to the official South Sudan eVisa website. Fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport-style photo, and pay the fee (around $100–$150 depending on processing speed). Processing takes 3–7 business days. You'll receive the eVisa by email.
2
Print or save your eVisa
Once approved, print a paper copy and also save a PDF on your phone. Immigration at Juba International Airport will ask to see it before they stamp you in.

Arrive at Juba International Airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Visa on Arrival' (even if you have an eVisa). Present your documents. The officer will check your eVisa, stamp your passport, and you're in. Expect a short queue — 10–20 minutes usually.
