Sudan visa for French citizens

For French passport holders, a visa is required to enter Sudan, with only a single tourist visa type currently available. Since the conflict began in April 2023, commercial air travel has been severely impacted, meaning direct flights are largely suspended and any journey from France typically involves multiple stops and careful planning. Although associated fees and permitted stay durations are outlined on other sections of this page, the French government currently advises strongly against all travel to Sudan due to extreme security risks. Navigating the significant logistical hurdles, especially concerning standard commercial routes from Paris, becomes a critical practical consideration beyond the visa itself. Therefore, closely monitoring the continually evolving situation through official advisories is paramount before any departure.
