邀請函：需檢附由南蘇丹境內企業/慈善團體/飯店所發出的正式邀請函，該函需由發函單位向南蘇丹政府(移民局)進行註冊之類的手續後方能生效，記得多留幾天給他們作業，不確定是否需要正本。
Invitation Letter：A formal invitation letter from an enterprise/NGO/hotel in South Sudan is required. This letter would become valid when it is registered to the South Sudan government(immigration department), so don't forget to prepare some time for it. I'm not sure if they accept an original letter only or not.

●準備方式/Solutions of required documents：
(1)
我沒有準備邀請函；第一次去使館的時候，櫃台小姐跟我說只要照片跟交錢就好，後來再去，面試的官員才告訴我要邀請函，我說兩個禮拜前你們並沒有告知我要邀請函，現在我沒時間準備了，官員好心的讓我過關。
I didn't have the invitation letter；The reception told me that I just needed to prepare one photo and money when I visited the embassy at the first time. At the second time, an interview officer told me that I need the letter. I said, "you should tell me 2 weeks ago. Now I don't have time to prepare for it, as I must leave Uganda." The officer is very nice. He granted to give me the visa.

南蘇丹是個新國家，很多法令都可能隨時更改，申辦前請查閱官方網站的相關規定。
Since South Sudan is a new-born country, they might change the laws/regulations when they want to. Make sure to check the official web site about the newest requirements before you apply.

蘇丹境內有很多檢查哨，在某些哨站，外國人經過時必須登記，除了要看這張通行證外，還要交10鎊(約100新台幣)的登記費。
There're many check points all over Sudan(including the south). The foreigners should present this travel permit and pay 10 pounds(around $3) at some check points.

三個月以上多次入境通行證要80美元，但聽說第一次入境蘇丹者，很難申請到多次通行證。
It costs $80 to apply a 3-months, multiple-entry travel permit. But it might be difficult to apply a multiple-entry permit for the ones who haven't been to Sudan before.
