About the South Sudan visa

South Sudan is the world's youngest country and is rarely visited for tourism. Indian passport holders can apply for an e-Visa online, mainly for business, NGO or official travel.

The security situation is serious, and India's Ministry of External Affairs advises caution. Check the latest advisory before planning travel.
