Overview
Family members typically enter under general entry visa categories, with their status in Sudan often tied to the principal visa holder’s residence permit.
This visa category is designed for spouses and children of foreign nationals holding a valid Sudanese work or residence permit. It is not a standalone category but is tied to the status of the principal visa holder. Applicants must coordinate with the local Sudanese embassy and expect potential delays due to the requirement for Ministry of Foreign Affairs approval.
