🇹🇭 Thailand visa requirements for South Sudanese citizens

Entry rules for South Sudan passport holders

South Sudanese citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Thailand. Applications generally go through a Thailand embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Thailand immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The South Sudanese passport ranks #181 worldwide, opening 43 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (17 visa-free, 25 with a visa on arrival and 1 with an eTA). Thailand is not among them — it is one of the 114 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.

In the other direction, Thai citizens traveling to South Sudan face a different rule: e-visa.

Across South-Eastern Asia as a whole, 5 of 11 destinations are open to South Sudanese travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
