Need for the Document

A Sudan visa is an official government document that temporarily authorizes a foreigner to be in the country. A Sudanese tourist visa is issued for a limited period of leisure travel and no business activities allowed. Entry visa to Sudan is issued at all Sudanese embassies and consulates abroad. A visa in your passport does not guarantee entry. That remains the right of the immigration officials in Sudan.
