A representative of Embassy of Sudan in Washington, DC, stated during a 6 May 1996 telephone interview that a permanent resident of Sudan does have the right to leave and re-enter Sudan. The same source specified that the individual must show proof that they are permanent resident and the individual must obtain a re-entry visa for re-entering Sudan which is required.
Please find attached a copy of the application form for obtaining a visa for Sudan.
For further information on travel requirements for Sudan, please refer to the attached excerpt of the May 1996 Travel Information Manual, which refers to exit and re-entering visa requirements for alien residents of Sudan.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
