Visa for the United Kingdom from Sudan: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. Travellers holding a Sudan passport must apply for a consular visa before travelling to the United Kingdom. Do not travel before a decision has been issued on the application. Check the applicable requirements and process with the official portal or the relevant embassy.

The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.

• Government fee135 GBP

  Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.

• Application centre feeVariable, set by the operator

  Only when the post uses an external centre. The amount is set locally and we do not publish a figure we cannot verify.

• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

  Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.

• ExtrasVariable

  Courier return, SMS tracking, compliant photo, insurance, sworn translation or legalisation, depending on what the post requires.

We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.

A standard application file includes a form, photographs, and evidence of accommodation, financial resources, and insurance. Additional documents may be requested depending on the traveller’s circumstances and purpose of travel. For exact document requirements and applicable fees, consult the official portal or the relevant embassy.

Book an appointment with the relevant embassy or consulate and submit the application before departure. Complete the required form and provide the application file in line with the authority’s instructions. Consult the official portal or the relevant embassy for appointment and submission arrangements.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Sudan, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Sudan but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing times vary depending on the application and the procedures of the competent authority. Submit the application well before the planned travel date, taking this variability into account. Do not buy tickets before the visa is issued, and check the latest information through the official portal or the relevant embassy.

Common mistakes include submitting an incomplete file or providing evidence that does not match the information in the application form. Avoid booking non-refundable travel before the visa has been issued. Review every document carefully and follow the instructions published by the official portal or the relevant embassy.
