Uganda passport South Sudan

Do Ugandans need a visa for South Sudan?

No visa needed.

Visa free

You can board a flight to South Sudan on a passport from Uganda with no visa. The officer on arrival sets how long you may stay. Immigration will still want to see a return ticket, somewhere to stay, and enough money for the trip.

Status
Visa free
Stay permitted

Government fee
Nothing to pay
Typical decision
No application

There is nothing to apply for and nothing to pay.

Book your flight. Any site offering to sell you a South Sudan visa, permit or "travel authorisation" for this trip is selling you something you do not need.

If you are travelling on a different passport, South Sudan's official entry rules are at evisa.gov.ss.
