The designation of South Sudan for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which was set to expire on May 3, 2025, has been automatically extended to Nov. 3, 2025.
Key Points:
Additional Information: South Sudan was initially designated for TPS on Oct. 13, 2011, on the dual bases of ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions that prevented nationals of South Sudan from safely returning. Following the initial designation, DHS extended and newly designated South Sudan for TPS in 2013, 2014 and 2016.
In 2017, 2019 and 2020, DHS extended the TPS designation for South Sudan, based on ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions, and extended and newly designated TPS for South Sudan on the same bases in 2022. Most recently, in September 2023, DHS extended and newly designated South Sudan for TPS for 18 months based on ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions, from Nov. 4, 2023, to May 3, 2025.
