Prepare for a lot of sweat, tears, headaches, and then a big, fat &#8216;No&#8217;. All applications are sent to Khartoum for approval, so the process of being told you can&#8217;t have one can take over a month to complete. However, don&#8217;t go changing those plans just yet as there is one way in. Transit visas, allowing up to a fortnight in Sudan, are issued fairly easily. For this you require a letter of introduction from your own embassy, an onward visa for Egypt, a couple of photos and, for most nationalities, $100 cash. [Congratulations!] Americans, you get to pay $200. It normally takes two days to issue.<\/p>\n<p>-p.257<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently read through the bulk of the Lonely Planet travel guide for Ethiopia and Eritrea.
