The U.S. Department of State issued a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory for the Republic of Sudan in northeast Africa.

Announced on April 22, 2023, the travel alert confirmed the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum suspended its operations.

In addition, the State Department ordered the departure of U.S. direct-hire employees and eligible family members from the Embassy in Khartoum due to the continued civil unrest.

Specifically, the U.S. government cannot provide routine or emergency consular services to U.S. citizens in Sudan due to the current security situation.

We are aware of convoys departing Khartoum traveling towards Port Sudan. However, the Embassy cannot assist convoys, and traveling in any convoy is at your own risk, wrote the Embassy.

And if you travel to Sudan, exercise extreme care in all parts of the country, including Khartoum. Unfortunately, Khartoum's airport was closed due to the uncertain security situation.

Additionally, visitors are encouraged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Program to receive Alerts during an emergency.

From a health perspective, the U.S. CDC issued various travel alerts for Sudan's measles, polio, and dengue outbreaks.

Travel vaccination services are offered in Texas at local clinics and community pharmacies.
