Overview
Sudan coverage is lite because the reviewed official public packet is the Embassy of the Republic of Sudan in Washington entry-visa, forms, no-objection and contact pages. The packet confirms entry visas for business, official, work, humanitarian and other purposes, Sudanese nationals holding foreign passports, diplomatic and UN laissez-passer or official visas, processing fees, payment methods, return-envelope handling and Ministry of Foreign Affairs approval for diplomatic/official cases. Central Sudan government domains were unavailable, unresolved or certificate-broken during review, and the packet does not publish a complete residence-card, work-permit, family, study, renewal or local-registration corpus. The Embassy entry-visa page has a separate checklist for Sudanese nationals holding foreign passports. It lists a filled and signed application form, valid passport for at least 6 months, one passport-sized photo, a copy of an identification document issued in Sudan plus an identification document of a Sudanese sponsor, and US$154 processing fees. Applicants below 18 require written father consent to obtain an entry visa and, if travelling without parents, a no-objection letter signed by the father with copies of the father's identification documents.
