  • Letter of invitation from a sponsor, employer, or organization in South Sudan
  • Confirmed return/onward flight itinerary
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the stay

  • NGO/Work Visa: longer validity, requires sponsorship from a registered organization and a separate work permit process

How to apply online

  • Submit the application and scanned documents through the South Sudan Embassy's online channel or by email, since there is no South Sudanese mission in Pakistan
  • An approval letter/pre-visa authorization is issued by email, which should be printed
  • Present the approval letter, passport, and visa fee (often payable in cash USD) on arrival at Juba International Airport, where the visa is stamped into the passport
  • Some applicants instead route the application through a sponsor who lodges it with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Juba directly

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately USD 100 for a single-entry tourist/business visa, often payable in cash USD on arrival
  • No separate online service fee if applying directly via the embassy
  • Standard processing: 5-10 business days for the approval letter; allow extra time given variable communication with the embassy
  • No official express option is advertised

Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Check current Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs travel advisories before applying, given the volatile security situation
  • Carry exact change in clean, recent-series USD notes, as older or damaged notes are often refused
  • A strong invitation letter from a verifiable sponsor or NGO is essential for approval
  • Arrange private medical evacuation insurance, as healthcare facilities are extremely limited
  • Extensions must be arranged in person at the Directorate of Immigration in Juba before the visa expires
