Do Sudan citizens need a visa for Burundi?

Based on GoMate's data verified against official and consular sources, the short-stay rule for an ordinary Sudan passport entering Burundi is "eVisa required", for stays of up to 30 days (eVisa single / 90 days multi). This covers short visits for tourism, business, or transit. Entry requirements can change, so always confirm with the Burundi embassy before traveling.

Under current regulations, Sudan passport holders may stay in Burundi for up to 30 days (eVisa single / 90 days multi) per entry on a short-stay basis (tourism, business, or transit). Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so plan to leave within the permitted period.

Sudan passport holders must apply for an eVisa online before traveling to Burundi. Complete the application, upload the required documents, pay the fee, and wait for approval before departure. Be ready to provide: eVisa via migration.gov.bi — USD 40 single / USD 90 multiple; Yellow fever certificate; 3 working days processing.

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Additional requirements: eVisa via migration.gov.bi — USD 40 single / USD 90 multiple; Yellow fever certificate; 3 working days processing. Carry proof of onward travel and sufficient funds, as these may be checked at the border.

No. Short-stay entry to Burundi is intended for tourism, business meetings, and transit — it does not permit paid employment. To work in Burundi, Sudan citizens need a separate work visa or permit arranged in advance.

The 30 days (eVisa single / 90 days multi) short-stay limit is generally firm. Extensions are sometimes possible by applying to the Burundi immigration authorities before your permitted stay ends. Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so do not rely on it.
