This guide gives the contact details of the Embassy of the Republic of South Sudan in New Delhi, its head of mission and national day, and the consular and travel points mentioned in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) bilateral brief of April 2026. Contact details are taken from the MEA Protocol Division register, read on 24 September 2026.

Embassy of the Republic of South Sudan in New Delhi

According to the MEA brief of April 2026, South Sudan opened its Embassy in New Delhi in August 2012. The contact details recorded in the MEA Protocol Division register are:

  • Address: F/3/12, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi-110057
  • Telephone: 40159287
  • Email: erss.dlin@gmail.com

The telephone number is reproduced exactly as the register gives it, without a country or city code. Readers should use the telephone number or email address above to contact it.

As of 24 September 2026, the register lists the head of mission as H.E. Mrs. Sitona Abdalla Osman, Ambassador.

Consulates and honorary consulates

The MEA Protocol Division register lists no consulates and no honorary consulates of South Sudan in India. The Embassy in New Delhi is therefore the only South Sudanese mission in India recorded in the register.

National day

The national day of South Sudan is 9 July. The brief records that South Sudan gained independence from Sudan on that date in 2011.

India's mission in South Sudan

The brief records that the Indian Consulate in Juba, opened in October 2007, was upgraded to an Embassy in March 2012. Indian nationals in South Sudan who need consular help should approach the Embassy of India in Juba through official Government of India channels, as the brief does not give its contact details.

The brief also records an evacuation of Indian nationals from South Sudan. In July 2016, when civil war was at its peak in South Sudan, Minister of State Gen. (Rtd) V. K. Singh visited Juba to coordinate and oversee the evacuation of Indian nationals.

Medical visas for travel to India

The brief states that, "given the top class but affordable medical facilities in India", South Sudanese prefer to travel to India to address their health issues. It adds that some India-based medical tourism promoting agencies facilitate treatment for their clients at hospitals in Delhi, Gurugram, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and other cities.

The brief also states that the number of medical visas issued to South Sudanese nationals has been steadily increasing. As of the brief, 2,556 medical visas were issued by the Indian Embassy during the calendar year 2025.

The brief does not set out the requirements, fees or processing times for Indian medical visas. South Sudanese nationals planning treatment in India should check current requirements with the Embassy of India in Juba and, for matters involving South Sudanese documents, with the Embassy of the Republic of South Sudan in New Delhi.

Visas for travel to South Sudan

The brief does not contain information on visas or entry requirements for travel to South Sudan. Anyone planning to travel to South Sudan from India should check current requirements directly with the Embassy of the Republic of South Sudan in New Delhi, using the contact details above.

Travel and connectivity

Travellers should confirm current options with airlines and the relevant authorities.

Getting help

For any matter involving South Sudan, readers should contact the Embassy of the Republic of South Sudan in New Delhi in the first instance. Diplo does not publish office hours or a list of services, because these are not given in the official sources used for this guide.

Honorary consuls, where a country appoints them, have limited powers, and the register currently lists none for South Sudan in India. Requirements for any visa, document or other consular matter should be confirmed directly with the Embassy before travel or before submitting documents.
