What should I Know About Doing Business With Sudan

Obtaining permits is a MUST

Sudan is the country where everything is controlled. You have to obtain a permit for everything you undertake, even if you’re going for a drive outside of Khartoum or to visit touristic places. Those permits have to be obtained from the Government authorities or the Ministry of Culture, Humanitarian Affairs, the Tourism Office or the Police. Beware, Speaking Arabic is almost a must.

Africa HR Solutions Ltd through its network of partners, can offer the Contractor a global immigration solution in Sudan. The Contractor who intends to carry out any business related activities needs the following documents: Business Visa and Work Permit.

Business Visa – Africa HR Solutions Ltd ensures that the contractor is fully compliant to work in the country and seeks all avenues in ensuring that the specific requirements of the country are met.

Africa HR Solutions Ltd will ensure that all requirements are fulfilled and that the contractor is fully aware of any developments needed to ensure a successful acquisition of the business visa.

Work permit – Applying for a work permit may be done whilst in the country or before the contractor is deployed in the said location. Africa HR Solutions Ltd ensures that the contractor obtains the work permit in the correct way to ensure that he/she is not disrupted by local authorities in any form once the work process has commenced.

A work permit may take a few weeks to secure but Africa HR Solutions Ltd ensures that the work permit application process is done in the most efficient way possible and that all requirements are adhered to, including and informing the contractor and end user of any additional requirements that may be needed.
