Visa for Poland from Sudan: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. A Schengen Type C visa for tourism is mandatory for a Sudanese citizen travelling to Poland. Poland must be your main destination or your first point of entry into the Schengen area. The visa grants no right to work, and cumulative stays are capped at 90 days per 180-day period.

Gather a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned exit, the signed form, a compliant photo, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, flight and accommodation bookings, and proof of funds. The visa fee is €90 for an adult; reduced fees apply to children (see the official source). Service charges may be added depending on the lodging channel.

From Sudan, appointments are booked through the Polish e-Konsulat system, after which the file is lodged at the competent Polish mission or its authorised partner. As Poland may not maintain a fully operational consular presence in Khartoum, your application may fall under a regional Polish embassy; check the jurisdiction on gov.pl. Fingerprints and a photo are captured in person.

• Your application goes to the state that is your main destination. If Poland is where you spend the longest, it handles the file, whatever the entry point.
• With no main destination, the competent state is the one you enter first.
• If Poland has no consulate in Sudan, another Schengen state may act on its behalf under a representation arrangement, or the file goes to the post accredited for your country.

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 usually takes 15 to 45 days but may run longer if the file undergoes additional checks; apply at least three to four weeks before departure and no earlier than six months ahead. A complete file with clear proof of funds and strong ties to Sudan limits requests for further documents. Do not buy non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted.

Refusals often stem from inadequate insurance, unproven funds, or a wrongly chosen main destination. Avoid unconfirmed bookings and a near-expiry passport. Given possible health requirements for travellers from Sudan, verify any vaccination condition (yellow fever) and the competent consular jurisdiction on gov.pl before applying.
