  1. Current official routeCitizenship

    Sudanese citizens’ constitutional right to return

    A Sudanese citizen travelling on an ordinary Sudanese passport has a constitutional right to return; this is not a visitor-visa route for foreign nationals.

    • Applies to Sudanese citizens; the constitutional text states that exercise is subject to law.
    • Does not establish a foreign-national visa route, residence entitlement, work authorization, or exemption from security and admissibility controls.

    Palestinian ordinary passports: 2026 advance-visa visitor cohort

    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.

    • 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.
