Reisehinweis Großbritannien (FCDO) — South Sudan

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) advises against all travel to South Sudan. This is an extreme-level alert covering the entire country, with particular concern for border areas within 50 km of the Sudan frontier, including the Abyei region. Multiple official governments including Australia, Japan, Ireland, Austria and South Korea have issued similar "do not travel" advisories.

If you are currently in South Sudan, you face significant risks to your safety and security. You should consider leaving the country as soon as possible through available means. Contact your embassy or consulate immediately for assistance and guidance specific to your situation and location.

Follow all instructions from local authorities and your government's diplomatic mission. Avoid border regions and areas of active conflict. Monitor official travel advisories regularly for any updates. This alert is based on guidance from the FCDO, Australian DFAT, Japanese MOFA, Irish DFA, Austrian BMEIA and Korean MOFA.
