About the Sudan Passport
Sudan is ranked 72nd, well inside the lower tier. The passport opens 14 destinations visa-free, and total mobility, adding eTA, visa on arrival and e-Visa access, is 84.
Africa is the strongest region with seven visa-free destinations, while Oceania has just one. Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore can be entered on an e-Visa. For France and the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Japan, China and Brazil, holders must obtain a visa before they travel. Even short trips usually require lead time and supporting documents. Nearby African destinations are the easiest to reach, while the rest of the world takes careful planning. That leaves considerable room for improvement, and a second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 96 destinations.
Visa-Free Access by Region
Sudan passport holders can enter 14 destinations visa-free or with a simple eTA. Destinations with a green outline have residency or citizenship programs you can explore.
