Stage 6 - Sudan and South Sudan

FCO Advice

For security reasons the FCDO advises against all travel to:

  • the Darfur states

  • the Abyei Region

  • South Kordofan and Blue Nile states

  • the southern area of West Kordofan state that was previously part of South Kordofan, as shown on the map

  • within 50km of the border with South Sudan in White Nile and Sennar states

  • within 200km of the border with Libya

The FCDO advises against all but essential travel to:

  • within 100km of the border with Egypt in areas west of the Nile Valley

  • within 20km of the border with Eritrea

  • within 20km of the border with Ethiopia

  • areas of North Kordofan and West Kordofan states south of the Kost-El Obeid-En Nahud road

  • the remainder of Sudan based on the current assessment of COVID-19 risks

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advise against all travel to South Sudan.

If you choose to travel to South Sudan against FCDO advice, exercise caution and vigilance at all times and avoid any travel during the hours of darkness. You should make sure you have comprehensive contingency plans that don’t rely on support from the Embassy, including a stock of essential supplies and up-to-date travel documents and visas.


In summary, virtual running tours are recommended, take care :)
