Australia tourist / visitor visa success rate for Sudanese citizens

In the UK — the only government that publishes visa outcomes broken down by both nationality and visa type — 38.4% of Sudanese tourist visa applications were approved, down from 44.1% a year earlier, across 5,637 decisions in the year to March 2026. For Sudanese tourist applicants that is the only approval rate on record anywhere. Australia does not publish tourist decisions by nationality, so no Australia-specific rate exists for Sudan — and any site quoting one is estimating. Where Sudan does have published rates, they run at 36.7% on US visitor visas in FY2025 — a wider picture of how Sudanese applications are treated, though neither is a tourist-visa figure. What Australia does document is the decision itself: officers assess whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time, and the biggest single lever is return intent. On the money side: No official minimum. Show funds that credibly cover flights, accommodation and daily costs for your stay — steady bank statements beat a one-off deposit. The estimator below weighs your own finances, ties, travel history and refusal record against that.

Where Sudan sits in the official data

Two governments publish visa outcomes broken down by country. Neither predicts an individual decision, but together they show how Sudanese applicants fare relative to everyone else, and which of the destinations we cover currently refuses the fewest applications from Sudan.

UK tourist visas — year to March 2026

The UK is the only government that publishes outcomes by nationality and visa type, so it is the one place a tourist-visa figure for Sudan actually exists. 61.6% of Sudanese tourist applications were refused across 5,637 decisions , against 55.9% the year before. That volume makes Sudan the 42nd-largest source of UK tourist applicants, of 110 countries with meaningful numbers. Different country, different rules — a reference point, not your odds here.

US visitor visas — FY2025

A 63.3% adjusted refusal rate places Sudan 173rd of 199 nationalities the State Department publishes — a lower refusal rate than 13% of them. The median nationality sits at 31.8%, so Sudan is 31.5 points above it.

The European Commission's Schengen table carries no row for Sudan at any volume, so the US and UK figures above are the only two nationality-level rates published for Sudanese applicants anywhere. They run 63% refused in the US against 62% refused in the UK — within 1 points of each other, despite being different systems entirely. Volume is the other half of the picture: 5,637 tourist decisions make Sudan the 42nd-largest source the UK sees for that category, of 110 countries with a meaningful number.

What actually moves the needle

Strong ties to home — a stable job, family, or property

This is the heart of tourist decisions for Australia. Make it concrete and documented rather than assumed.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an official Australia tourist visa success rate for Sudanese citizens?

Not one we currently carry. We only print a rate when we hold the publisher's own figure for this nationality and this visa category, and we do not hold one for Australia tourist visas. The figure shown on this page is a modelled estimate built from published route-level data and your answers — we label it as such rather than presenting it as a government statistic. What you can act on is the documented requirement set below, which is what the decision actually turns on.

What matters most for an Australia tourist visa?

Officers focus on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. In practice the single biggest lever is return intent, so make that part of your application as strong and well-documented as possible.

Does a previous visa refusal affect my chances?

Yes. A prior refusal weighs on new applications until its underlying reason is addressed. Find out exactly why you were refused, fix what caused it, and clearly show what is different this time.

Is this a guarantee of approval?

No. GetVisaOdds is an educational planning tool, not legal advice and not a guarantee. Only a consular or immigration officer can decide your application. We show approximate odds and the reasons behind them so you can prepare better.

Is my information private?

Completely. The estimate runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are never sent to a server or stored — there is no sign-up and nothing to leak.

How much money do I need for an Australian visitor visa?

There is no fixed amount. Show funds that comfortably cover your flights, stay and daily costs — recent bank statements with a steady balance plus evidence of income work best.

How long can I stay on a subclass 600 visa?

Grants are typically for 3, 6 or 12 months, decided by the officer. Longer stays draw more scrutiny of your funds and ties.

Why are Australian visitor visas refused?

Most refusals come down to the genuine-visitor test: weak ties, unclear funds, or an unconvincing purpose. Address those three and you remove most of the risk.

Do I need travel insurance for Australia?

It is not mandatory for the subclass 600, but Home Affairs recommends it, and it strengthens the impression of a well-planned, genuine visit.
