Passports must be valid at least 6 months (UK: after arrival; Canada: beyond departure; Germany: at entry). Foreigners must register with the Aliens' Registration Office / Aliens Department within 3 days of arrival (UK, Canada). Entry is refused if the passport carries an Israeli stamp (UK, Canada). Yellow fever: the UK page states a certificate is required, the Canadian page states proof is not required to enter; check with the Sudanese mission. The UK mentions an exit visa may be needed for single-entry visa holders, not always enforced. Germany states land borders are closed or frequently restricted, and international flights to Khartoum are suspended while Port Sudan airport serves some regional destinations. A student-specific entry category, its documents, fees and the residence-permit procedure were not found on an official Sudanese source.

Canada 'Avoid all travel' (updated 13 Oct 2026), citing armed conflict, frequent drone attacks including Khartoum and Port Sudan, kidnapping and terrorism risk, crime, closed or unpredictable land borders and landmines, fuel and power shortages; Canadians in Sudan are told to leave if safe; no Canadian office in Sudan (Addis Ababa district). Germany (Auswaertiges Amt) maintains a Reisewarnung and an Ausreiseaufforderung (call to leave); the German embassy in Khartoum is closed; the page's 'Aktuelles' list shows an entry dated 25 Aug 2026. Turkiye Ministry of Foreign Affairs: notice of 8 May 2025 states that the notice of 27 Dec 2023 remains valid and asks citizens to avoid travel to Sudan unless essential and those present who are not essential to leave by the fastest safe route; no later Sudan notice appears in the ministry's announcement list read on 2026-10-26. US State Department (page read 2026-10-26): Level 4 'Do Not Travel', date issued 15 May 2026, citing unrest/armed conflict, crime, kidnapping, terrorism, landmines and health threats; the US Embassy in Khartoum suspended operations in April 2023 and no routine or emergency consular services are available. United States (OFAC program page, read 2026-10-26): the Sudan national emergency remains in effect; sanctions under E.O. 14098 (4 May 2023) and E.O. 13400 (2006, Darfur) are in force and target designated persons; the broad Sudanese Sanctions Regulations were removed in 2018 and Sudan's State Sponsor of Terrorism designation was rescinded on 14 Dec 2020, so US persons are not broadly prohibited from transactions with Sudan.
