## Official evidence timeline

- **Current official route — South Sudan: four MFA-listed visa-exempt nationalities** (Visa-free)
  MFA’s current country-by-country visa-eligibility table marks Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda “EXEMPTED” with zero quoted entry-visa fees. It directly supports a nationality-wide visa exemption for the listed ordinary-passport short visitor cohort, rather than a visa on arrival or electronic authorization.
  - The published table does not state a duration, an effective date, passport-type qualifications, permitted purpose or entry-point limitations. This normalization is limited to its explicit country-level “EXEMPTED” rows and remains subject to ordinary border, health, security, admissibility and documentary checks.
  - MFA says bilateral relations can affect visa treatment. Its general page separately discusses visas on arrival, embassy processing, transit visas, and diplomatic, official and service passports; none is folded into this ordinary-passport visitor exemption.
  - The official eVisa portal provides a downloadable electronically issued visa for approved applicants. It is not an ETA, and this policy does not require it for the four explicitly exempt nationalities.
  - The Trade Information Hub’s statement that “most” travellers can obtain a visa on arrival has no nationality schedule. It does not establish an arrival-visa complement or alter the explicit MFA exemptions.
  - Work, residence, long stays, transit, invitation or entry-permit cases, foreign South Sudanese travelling on foreign passports, diplomatic, official, service, refugee, alien and other special documents are outside this policy.

- **Current official route — United States ordinary passports: expressly pre-travel visas** (Visa required)
  Current State Department guidance expressly requires a visa to be obtained before travel for the listed destinations.
  - LY: applications are made at the Libyan embassy in the applicant's country of residence, require MFA approval, and visas are unavailable at the port of entry.
  - SD: obtain the visa from a Sudanese embassy before arrival; SS and CF: obtain the visa before arrival/travel.
  - CG: obtain the visa before travel; invitation or hotel-reservation conditions apply.
  - Visitor purpose, passport validity, invitation, transit, special-document and final-admission conditions remain applicable.

  - This does not normalize travel warnings, operational access, invitations, special documents, work, residence, transit or final admission.

- **Current official route — Macao SAR passports: named electronic visitor visas** (eVisa)
  Macao DSI's current passport-specific records place Djibouti, Iraq, South Sudan and Ukraine in its expressly labelled e-visa route, with neither visa-free nor arrival-visa access marked.
  - The DSI records mark evisa: 1 and visaFree/visaOnArrival: 0 for each named destination; this is an expressly classified electronic-visa route, not an inference from the existence of an online application.
  - The South Sudan and Ukraine destination authorities expressly confirm electronic issuance before departure. Use the linked destination official e-visa service before travel; purpose, duration, documents, fees, carrier requirements, operational availability and final admission remain separate.

  - It does not establish work, residence, diplomatic or other special-document treatment, nor guarantee current border-opening or individual admission.

- **Current official route — Palestinian ordinary passports: 2026 advance-visa visitor cohort** (Visa required)
  The State of Palestine's current ordinary-passport schedule labels this exact destination cohort "Visa is required" and separately labels electronic and arrival-issued routes elsewhere in the same schedule. It is normalized as advance visa required.
  - This is the Ministry's ordinary-passport short-visitor baseline. The source separately labels eVisa and visa-on-arrival rows, so a bare "Visa is required" row is not recast as either route.
  - Georgia and Panama have separately stated waivers for holders of specified third-country visas. Those conditional document routes are excluded from this passport-only baseline.
  - Mission availability, passport recognition, individual admission, route, transit, work, residence, diplomatic, official, service and other special-document treatment are outside this policy.
