Dreaming about visiting South Sudan? The immigration rules may change as the country is still relatively new to independence. However, citizens of Botswana, Burundi, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda can obtain a visa on arrival. The cost ranges from $50 to $100 USD. South Sudan has even introduced a new e-visa program, making it easier for citizens from almost every nation to experience this once closed-off nation. The process is simple and quick, so you can spend less time worrying about paperwork and more time exploring the wonders of South Sudan. Other visitors need to obtain a visa from a South Sudan diplomatic mission unless they have South Sudani origin. Don't forget, the visa is required to board the aircraft and it will cost you $100 USD. However, holders of diplomatic, official, service, and special passports are lucky. They can get a visa on arrival. So pack your bags and get ready for an adventure in South Sudan!

Popular Foods

The first popular food in South Sudan is Sorghum porridge, called "Akok" in local language. It is made using sorghum flour, water, salt, and sometimes butter or oil. The consistency can vary between thick and thin, depending on personal preferences. This dish is usually consumed by both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

The second popular food is called "Ful" which is a stew made primarily of beans, particularly dried white beans known as fulbe. The beans are boiled and mashed to create a thick paste, often seasoned with spices like cayenne pepper, garlic, and onions. It's typically eaten with bread or other flatbreads. Non-vegetarian versions may include meat.

Lastly, "Mango and Groundnut Stew", also known as Mango-nut stew, is a popular dish, especially in the rainy season when mangoes are abundant. The combination of sweet mangoes and groundnuts (peanuts) creates a unique flavor profile. The stew can be served hot or cold and might contain chicken or fish in some variations.
