Tuvalu issues an entry visa on arrival at the airport to holders of most passports, including Sudanese passports, with no need to apply in advance or wait for a multi-day processing period. At Baeed, we provide you with all the pre-travel guidance and document preparation you need to ensure a smooth entry with no complications on arrival.
How the process works
There is no e-visa or pre-approval system for Tuvalu, and the visa is not "processed" over business days as with many other countries. Instead, it is stamped directly into the passport by an immigration officer on landing, once the traveler is confirmed to meet the requirements below.
Documents required on arrival
- Passport valid for at least 6 months
- Confirmed return or onward ticket
- Proof of accommodation booking in Tuvalu
- Proof of sufficient funds to cover the stay
- Visa-on-arrival fee, paid in cash on arrival (approximately 100 AUD)
Length of stay
The visa on arrival grants an initial stay of up to one month, which can later be extended from within Tuvalu according to local regulations.
How Baeed helps
We help you prepare correctly before you travel: confirming passport validity, arranging your hotel booking and ticket, and preparing the required proof of funds — in addition to booking flights and hotels and building your itinerary — so you arrive in Tuvalu and receive your entry stamp without delay or surprises.
