Entry requirements

| Visa for SudanYou cannot get a visa on arrival or online; you need to obtain it from a Sudanese diplomatic mission before you go. Apply at an embassy or consulate | A visa is required for Slovak passport holders. Sudan does not offer an eVisa for your nationality, so you must apply in person or by mail at the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate before travel. Processing times vary, so start well in advance. | Required |
| Passport validitySudan enforces a 6-month validity rule, so a passport that expires sooner may cause entry refusal. At least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of departure from Sudan. Check your passport's expiry date before booking. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesImmigration officers need a clean page to stamp your passport. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for the entry stamp. Ensure no pages are torn or marked. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketSudan wants evidence that you will leave the country before your visa expires. Proof of departure | You may be asked to show a confirmed return or onward ticket at immigration. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of sufficient fundsImmigration may ask to see that you can support yourself financially during your visit. For your stay | Carry evidence of sufficient funds for your stay, such as bank statements or credit cards. The amount is not fixed but should cover accommodation and expenses. | Recommended |

| eVisa applicationEven though Sudan has an eVisa for some nationalities, it is not an option for you. Not available for your nationality | Sudan's eVisa system is not available to Slovak passport holders. Do not attempt to apply online; use the embassy/consulate route instead. | Not required |
No eVisa — apply at an embassy
Sudan's eVisa portal is not available for Slovak citizens. Do not attempt to use it — you'll waste time and money. Go directly to the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate.
Embassy locations
There is no Sudanese embassy in Slovakia. The nearest options are typically the Sudanese Embassy in Vienna, Austria, or the Embassy in Berlin, Germany. Contact them well in advance to confirm their jurisdiction and application procedures.
Travel safety
Sudan has areas of armed conflict and civil unrest. Check your government's travel advisory before booking anything. If you do travel, register with your embassy and have a solid safety plan.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Sudanese embassy or consulate
Find the Sudanese diplomatic mission responsible for Slovakia — often the embassy in Vienna, Austria, or Berlin, Germany. Call or email them to confirm exact requirements, fees, and whether you need to apply in person or can send documents by post.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather your passport, photos, application form, invitation letter or hotel booking, bank statements, and travel itinerary. Make photocopies of everything — the embassy may keep copies and return originals.
3
Submit your application
Deliver your documents to the embassy or consulate, either in person or by courier if they allow it. Some embassies require an interview; others just process the paperwork. Ask about processing time — it can range from a few days to several weeks.
4
Pay the visa fee
Pay the fee as instructed by the embassy. Get a receipt — you'll need it if you have to collect your passport later.
5
Collect your passport with the visa
Once approved, pick up your passport or have it mailed back. Check the visa sticker carefully: name spelling, dates, and validity. If anything is wrong, notify the embassy immediately.
6
Arrive in Sudan and go through immigration
At Khartoum International Airport (or other entry points), present your passport with the visa to immigration officers. They may ask about your purpose of visit and where you're staying. Have your invitation letter or hotel booking handy. You'll receive an entry stamp — keep it safe for your departure.
