Since 25 April, the UK has supported the departure of 2,450 people, including British nationals and dependants and other eligible nationals out of Sudan. The British Embassy in Khartoum is temporarily closed and the UK Government is only able to provide limited consular assistance to British nationals still in Sudan, communicating through our telephone consular helpline and Travel Advice updates. British nationals who have left by alternative means to neighbouring countries are receiving full consular support if needed. Sudanese nationals who have travelled to a third country and wish to join family members in the UK will need to apply for a visa, if they do not already have the right to enter the UK. Further information can be found online at GOV.UK.
