Rules of entry to South Sudan for Ukrainians
To enter South Sudan, Ukrainian citizens need to have a biometric passport valid for at least 6 months after leaving the country (although it is recommended that it be extended for 6 months for security and to avoid unforeseen situations), yellow fever certificate, invitation letter/reservation, tickets and financial confirmation.
If your foreign passport is about to expire
Starting October 29, 2025, Ukraine will no longer have a rule that allowed people to extend the validity of their foreign passports or add their children to them.
Now, you can only travel abroad with a valid biometric passport.
This means that if your passport has been extended or information about your children has been added to it, you will need to obtain a new document.
Where to apply for a new passport
- In Ukraine — at any branch of the State Migration Service, at the Administrative Services Center, or at a branch of the State Enterprise “Document.”
- Abroad — at the embassy or consulate of Ukraine, as well as at branches of the State Enterprise “Document” if they operate in your country.
If you are abroad with an “extended” passport
If you are not allowed to leave the country or are not accepted upon entry into Ukraine because of an “extended” document, contact the nearest Ukrainian embassy or consulate.
There you can obtain an identity card for returning to Ukraine — the so-called “white passport”.
It is issued on the day of application:
- free of charge — for children under 16;
- for a consular fee — for adults.
Juba Airport is not a transit hub.
