Do I need a visa for Australia from Sudan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Sudanese nationals must obtain a Visitor visa (subclass 600) before travelling to Australia; Sudan is not on the list of countries eligible for the free eVisitor.
Australia grants no visa exemption to Sudanese passport holders, regardless of how short the tourist stay is. The application is made entirely online through the Department of Home Affairs, from Khartoum or from your country of residence. There is no Australian visa-issuing post in Sudan, so the case is processed remotely.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. For tourism or family visits, Sudanese travellers use the Visitor visa (subclass 600), Tourist stream. Australia offers neither the eVisitor nor the ETA to Sudanese passports, so there is no visa-free alternative.
How and where to apply
Lodge the application online through an ImmiAccount on the Department of Home Affairs portal. Because Sudan has no Australian issuing post, the case is handled by a regional processing centre; biometrics may be requested at a partner centre in your country of residence.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, a recent photo, proof of sufficient funds, a travel itinerary, evidence of employment or ties in Sudan and, where relevant, a letter of invitation. The visa fee is not stated here: check the current amount on the official Department of Home Affairs schedule, which is updated regularly.
Processing and tips
Processing times vary widely from one case to another; lodge your application several weeks before departure. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be required if you transit through a risk area, so confirm this before you travel.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is to assume a visa waiver, which does not exist for Sudan. Also avoid weak proof of funds and poorly documented ties to your home country, the leading reasons a Sudanese file is refused.
