The UK government advises against all travel to Sudan due to the ongoing military conflict in Khartoum and other parts of the country, widespread violent crime, and a high threat of terrorism, kidnapping, enforced disappearances, and unlawful arrest. Khartoum International Airport is closed. While Port Sudan Airport is the only civilian airport operating international flights, it is subject to drone attacks and at high risk of intermittent closure. The British Embassy in Khartoum is closed, and consular support in Sudan is severely limited, with no in-person assistance available. The UK government is no longer evacuating people from Sudan, and any attempts to leave the country are at the individual's own risk.

Apply at the Sudan embassy or consulate in your country before traveling. Typical documents include passport, photos, completed application form, proof of accommodation, return ticket, and proof of funds. Apply at least 4-8 weeks before your trip to allow for processing time.

For short business visits like meetings or conferences, United Kingdom citizens typically enter Sudan under the same rules as tourists. For paid work, long assignments, or activities beyond what a tourist visa allows, a dedicated business or work visa is required. Confirm specifics with the Sudan embassy or consulate.
