Residence permit renewal in Sudan
Renewing a residence permit in Sudan typically involves applying to the Passports, Immigration, and Nationality Police (PINP) well in advance of the current permit's expiration. The process generally requires an application form, identification, original permit, and supporting documents, along with payment of applicable fees.
It is advisable to begin the renewal process several weeks to a few months before the current residence permit expires. This allows ample time to gather all necessary documents, secure an appointment if required, and account for potential processing delays. Starting early helps avoid issues with permit expiration.
