Turkey Visa for Sudanese Passport Holders Living in Dubai

The rule in one line: Sudanese passport holders use a sticker visa through the Türkiye Consulate in Dubai — there is no online e-Visa for Sudanese nationals. Starting on the e-Visa portal would not produce a visa, so it is worth being clear about the route from the beginning.

Turkey offers the online e-Visa only to nationalities on its e-Visa eligible list, and Sudan is not on it. That means the online route is closed to Sudanese passport holders regardless of residence or other visas held. A UAE residence visa does not open an e-Visa route — it is your basis for leaving and returning to Dubai. The route that applies is the in-person sticker visa described below.

The sticker visa is applied for in person. You book an appointment, submit your passport with a full document set, and collect the passport once the visa is issued.

1. 1Book an appointment with the Türkiye Consulate General in Dubai / the authorised Turkish Visa Application Centre
2. 2Prepare a valid Sudanese passport (six months validity from your arrival date is the safe standard) with blank pages for the visa sticker
3. 3Complete the visa application form and provide passport photographs to the required specification
4. 4Provide a copy of your valid UAE residence visa, a return or onward flight booking, and confirmed accommodation
5. 5Provide supporting documents such as a recent bank statement, an employment or salary letter, and your travel itinerary
6. 6Submit at your appointment and allow roughly five to ten working days for processing before your travel date

If keeping your Sudanese passport current has been difficult, sort passport validity first — a passport with at least six months of validity is the safe standard, and renewing it through the relevant Sudanese mission before you apply avoids a rejection at the consulate stage.

• Trying to apply for an e-Visa. There is no e-Visa for Sudanese nationals — the online portal will not issue one.
• Assuming a UAE residence visa creates an online shortcut. It does not — it is your basis for leaving and returning to Dubai, not a Turkey visa route.
• Leaving passport validity unchecked. A passport with less than six months validity is a common cause of rejection; renew first if needed.
• Submitting an incomplete document set. A missing bank statement, employment letter or accommodation proof is the most frequent reason for delay.
• Booking non-refundable flights before the visa is issued. The sticker visa takes several working days — wait for the approval first.
