Entry rules for Uganda passport holders
Ugandan citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Sudan. Applications generally go through a Sudan embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Sudan immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
How this compares

In the other direction, Sudanese citizens traveling to Uganda face a different rule: e-visa.
Northern Africa is closed to spontaneous travel for Ugandan passport holders: none of its 6 destinations can be entered without an application first.
