Visa South Sudan
Afrique · Afrique de l’Est
In South Sudan, entry formalities go through the electronic visa platform hosted on the government domain. The pages consulted on 2026-09-17 describe an online application in three stages: creating an account and filing the form, payment by bank card, then downloading the electronic visa. They set out neither the visa categories, nor the documents required, nor the amounts, nor the authorized length of stay.
The information on this page helps prepare a case. Only the competent authority decides; always check the official source before filing an application.

According to the official platform, the application is filed online. The page describes three stages: create an account then complete the visa application form, pay the application fees by credit or debit card, and finally download the electronic visa in PDF format.
The government's e-services platform, consulted on the same day, states that South Sudanese citizens, foreign residents and foreign visitors can apply for public services online. It does not set out the services available or the conditions applicable to visas; access to that information assumes a login to an account, which was not created.

- Pay the application fees by credit or debit card, according to the page consulted.

What this guide does not know yet
Points the official source does not specify and which this guide therefore left blank. Ask the competent authority about them before filing an application.
- The visa categories, the eligibility conditions, the documents required and the amounts are only accessible after creating an account: a reviewer must obtain these elements from the authority.
- No period of validity or authorized length of stay is published on the pages consulted.
- The 72-hour period is presented as that of the download of the visa, not as a processing commitment: the wording must be checked before publication.
- No page describes the avenues of appeal in the event of a refusal.
- New attempt on 2026-09-18: the site of the ministry of foreign affairs and international cooperation (mofaic.gov.ss, "Visas" page) could not be read, its security certificate having expired. It appears to carry the missing visa categories.
- New attempt on 2026-09-18: the portal eservices.gov.ss could not be read (expired certificate) and the application page of the electronic visa platform redirects to an authentication step: no new element could be read.
