Sudan visa for Swiss citizens

Given the complex security situation in Sudan, prospective travelers from Switzerland face unique considerations beyond simply obtaining a visa. While a tourist visa is formally required and is the sole available visa type for Swiss passport holders, typically permitting a stay of up to 30 days and costing around CHF 120, the practicalities of entry are severely impacted by the ongoing conflict. Commercial flight routes and safe ground access are currently highly restricted, meaning direct travel from Zurich or Geneva is virtually impossible for tourism purposes at present, regardless of visa status. Therefore, despite the administrative process, any journey should be undertaken with extreme caution and awareness of the fluid, dangerous realities on the ground.
