→ South Sudan visa for Japanese citizens

For Japanese citizens planning a trip to South Sudan, securing an e-visa before departure is essential, allowing for stays of up to 180 days. While exploring the vibrant culture and unique wildlife, remember that the South Sudanese Pound (SSP) is the local currency, and it's advisable to exchange currency upon arrival for better rates. Given the current e-visa system, which has been in place since 2019, transit visas can be particularly useful if South Sudan is a brief stopover on a longer journey through East Africa. Be aware that direct flights from major Japanese hubs are uncommon, so expect at least one layover, often in a Middle Eastern or African capital, adding to your travel time.
