Non-Immigrant Visas

General Information

All applications for tourist, student and visitor visas to the United States from applicants residing in Sudan must be submitted to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt.  Click here.

To allow for sufficient processing time, Sudanese applicants are advised to start the application process at least 3 months in advance of their intended date of travel.  

To schedule an appointment to apply for a US visa in Cairo, applicants calling from Sudan should dial +2010-3369780/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9 to reach the Vodafone interview scheduling service.

Applicants can also ask a relative or acquaintance residing in Cairo to call 090070600 to arrange for the interview appointment.  They will need the passport information of each traveler.

All Non-Immigrant Visa applicants from Sudan must provide the following:

  • Completed and signed visa application forms. All applicants must complete an “E-visa" (EVAF) visa application form, the DS-156, which are completed on-line at http://evisaforms.state.gov and then printed included the 3D barcode. The completed application must be signed by all applicants.  All Sudanese applicants over age 14 must also complete a form DS-157.
  • A passport valid for at least six months;
  • A recent photograph, 5 cm x 5 cm. that shows ears and hairline, unless the head is covered for religious beliefs. The photograph may be in color or black and white, with a white background;
  • Students must present an I-20. 
  • A non-refundable application fee payment of USD 100.  Sudanese applicants must provide an additional 50 USD issuance fee.

    At the interview, all applicants must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the interviewing officer that they have social and economic ties that would compel them to return to Sudan at the end of a temporary stay in the United States. It is up to the applicant to present evidence they believe meets those standards. If the interviewing officer refuses the application, there is no appeal.

If the application is approved, there is an additional issuance fee for Sudanese passport holders of U.S. $50.00.

We are unable to determine the exact amount of time it will take to complete processing an application, and therefore our office bears no responsibility for travel plans made prior to the final adjudication of a visa application from Washington DC.
