Do I need a visa for Indonesia from South Sudan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
South Sudanese nationals must obtain a visa before travelling to Indonesia. The application is made online through Indonesia's official e-Visa portal.
South Sudan does not have a visa exemption for Indonesia, so South Sudanese travellers must arrange an electronic visa (e-Visa) before departure. The application is filed online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id; with no Indonesian mission in South Sudan, the mission responsible for the region can advise on special cases. The passport must stay valid for at least 6 months; the exact fee and validity should be confirmed on the portal.
Do you need a visa?
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 guaranteed visa on arrival, so the visa must be obtained in advance.
How and where to apply
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.
Documents and fees
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.
Processing and tips
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.
Common mistakes to avoid
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.
