Sudan Visa Services Suspension. On April 22, 2023, the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum suspended its operations, and the Department of State ordered the departure of U.S. direct hire employees and their dependents due to the continued threat from Sudan Visa Services Suspension. According to the visa policy of the United States, the citizens of Sudan must apply for a US B1/B2 Visa if they plan to travel to the US for business or tourism purposes. Although NVC strives to schedule appointments within three months of NVC’s acceptance of all requested documentation, this timeframe is subject to the operating status and capacity of the consular section. The validity of a Sudan tourist visa is between one week to three months. However, for more reliable information, contact the embassy or consulate of Sudan once they issue you the visa. Do not travel to Sudan due to armed conflict, civil unrest, crime, terrorism, and kidnapping. The conflict in Sudan has entered a fifth month, with millions fleeing the worsening civil war.
