Cost note
No single universal fee is encoded because the checked Sudan mission sources are jurisdiction-specific: Geneva lists 100 CHF, Berlin lists EUR 80 for tourist/transit visa categories, and Washington lists USD 154 for its entry-visa processing. Confirm the current fee and payment method with the responsible Sudanese mission before paying.

Why this verdict
Chinese citizens are encoded as visa-required because the checked official Sudan mission sources describe a consular entry/tourist visa route, with sponsor or Ministry of Interior approval possible depending on the route, and they do not expose a safe current ordinary-passport tourist visa-free table for this nationality. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, humanitarian work, journalism, diplomatic/service passports, Sudanese-national-with-foreign-passport handling, sponsor approval, Ministry of Interior approval, security conditions, carrier checks, health rules, border discretion and mission-specific visa handling can change the practical answer. Reconfirm with the responsible Sudanese mission, the traveller's sponsor and carrier before booking.
Conditional rules
- Traveller is Sudanese or has Sudanese nationality ties while holding a foreign passport Conditional
The Sudan Embassy Washington page publishes a separate entry-visa route for Sudanese nationals holding foreign passports, including Sudanese identification and sponsor/guardian evidence. Do not use the ordinary foreign-tourist route without mission confirmation.
- Mission requires tourist agency, Sudanese sponsor or Ministry of Interior approval before visa issuance Visa required
The Berlin mission says tourist visa requests may be made through a recognized tourist agency or sponsor, with issuance through the Ministry of Interior / Borders and Foreign Citizens route for the unique entry-permit number.
- Trip is work, study, residence, humanitarian work, journalism, diplomatic/service passport, official duty or another non-tourist short visit Visa required
This row covers ordinary-passport visitor travel only. Use the relevant business, work, humanitarian, official, diplomatic or residence route for non-tourist travel.
- Traveller lacks required passport validity, blank pages, sponsor approval, payment proof, health evidence, route proof, funds, accommodation or carrier clearance Conditional
Sudanese missions, carriers and border officials can require additional evidence and retain final authority. Current security conditions can also affect issuance and entry.
