Sudan digital nomad visa & residency (2026)

Sudan does not offer any dedicated digital-nomad or remote-work visa; it is absent from all official nomad-visa frameworks and is even excluded from some other countries' programmes.

Visitors needing a visa obtain one from a Sudanese mission or via the e-visa, which is single-entry, valid 60 days, permits a 30-day stay (extendable once by 30 days), and requires in-country police registration within days of arrival.

Long-stay residence permits under the Passports and Immigration Act are granted on specific grounds (employment with a local entity, family ties, or special permission) and are cancellable if those grounds lapse — there is no self-employed/freelance route usable by someone working remotely for a foreign employer.

Sudan operates no residency-by-investment or citizenship-by-investment scheme; immigration law contains no formalized investment-based pathway to residency.

Civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has raged since April 2023, with ongoing ground and aerial fighting and a severe humanitarian crisis, rendering any relocation impractical.

Sudan carries Level 4 'Do Not Travel' (US) and equivalent UK 'do not travel' advisories; the US and most Western embassies have suspended operations and cannot provide routine or emergency consular services in-country.
