The U.S. State Department has suspended operations and evacuated all U.S. employees and their family members from the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The State Department reissued a “do not travel” warning for Sudan because of ongoing armed conflict throughout the country, including heavy fighting between various political and security groups. The situation is “violent, volatile and extremely unpredictable, particularly in the capital city Khartoum,” the Department stated.
As of April 22, the State Department has not designated another U.S. Embassy for processing immigrant visa applications for those living in Sudan. Generally, nonimmigrant (temporary) visa applicants from Sudan can apply at any U.S. embassy or consulate where they are physically present and can obtain an appointment. More information regarding the State Department’s announcement is available here.
BAL Analysis: Companies with employees in the country are encouraged to follow State Department information and warnings closely. BAL will continue to monitor developments regarding the security situation in Sudan and will provide more information as it becomes available.
