Indonesia e-Visa for citizens of South Sudan: online application, fees and processing time 2026

Yes. As a South Sudanese citizen you must obtain a visa before entering Indonesia, including for a tourist stay. The South Sudanese passport grants neither visa-free entry nor a visa on arrival, so the visa must be obtained in advance.

Prepare a South Sudanese passport valid for at least 6 months with free pages, a compliant photo, an onward ticket, proof of accommodation or invitation and a bank statement showing sufficient funds. Additional documents may be requested. The visa amount and the exact list are not fixed here: check them on the official portal before any payment.

The main route is the official e-Visa portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id: create an account, complete the form, upload documents and pay online. Depending on the visa type, an Indonesian sponsor or guarantor may be required. As no Indonesian embassy is based in South Sudan, the accredited Indonesian mission for the region (often in a neighbouring country) can guide applicants.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in South 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 time is not guaranteed; submit your file well ahead, particularly if documents must be translated or authenticated. Check the health requirements: a yellow-fever vaccination certificate is often required for travellers departing South Sudan. Keep the approved visa (printed or digital) for boarding and arrival.

Do not book firm flights before the e-Visa is approved, as timelines can vary. Do not forget the yellow-fever certificate, regularly checked on this route. Avoid unofficial intermediaries and their surcharges, and make sure every form detail matches the passport exactly.
