Maximum Alerts / South Sudan
Level published by the State Department on 16.05.2026 · read 16 October 2026 · source checked daily
South Sudan — official level as of 16 October 2026: Level 4/4 ("Do Not Travel"), from the U.S. Department of State. Maximum Insurance covers this country: hospital settled directly, unlimited repatriation, EUR 1.5M, certificate on payment.
Every country has its own scale, so we ask them all the same question: is the whole country advised against?
An advisory covering only areas of the country does not raise the answer: it stays “No”, and the area is shown in the relevant column.
The level shown on this page — and across this site — is the one published by the U.S. State Department, from 1 (normal precautions) to 4 (do not travel). France and the United Kingdom publish their own advisories, with their own rules: they add to that level, they do not replace it.
In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services first, then Maximum: +41 22 ••• •• •• — 24/7 support number, an adviser stays with you to the end.
The 207 country pages — hospitals, pharmacies, police, embassies, emergency numbers, official advice from four governments, health, safety in figures, events in progress — read around the city you name. Your policy — benefits, the six steps, claims, articles. The site — prices, certificate, subscription. Nothing else: what it does not know, it says so and hands you to an adviser.
What I say on the phone
What to do, in this order
In immediate danger, call local emergency services first. Then contact assistance without delay; before engaging a service, seek approval under your policy. Cover is confirmed by the insurer.
Ask assistance where to get care and whether direct cover can be arranged. It confirms the facility and seeks the insurer's approval under your policy. In immediate danger, call local emergency services first.
Even for a pain you meant to shrug off. Without a medical certificate written on the spot, the same day, the insurer cannot cover the event — a certificate written after you return does not count.
The hospital desk sends the request to assistance. Direct payment depends on the insurer's approval and the policy; the call alone does not guarantee it. Have the response confirmed before relying on no up-front payment.
In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services immediately. For an arranged transfer or repatriation, contact assistance: the insurer's medical team decides on measures under the policy. A medical flight booked without approval may not be reimbursed.
Even if everything went well on the ground. Send your invoices and the medical report within 30 days; after that, compensation may be reduced or refused.
Places read from OpenStreetMap, within a circle of about 12 km: phone, email, address, website and hours when the source publishes them. No customer reviews, that source has none. Straight-line distances.
Notices vary by bank and vintage — yours prevails. On the right: the Maximum contract (public documents).

Do not travel to South Sudan due to risk of unrest , crime , kidnapping , landmines , and health risks .
The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency consular services to U.S. citizens in South Sudan due to the health and security situation
Health
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Travel Health Notice for Ebola for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
On May 17, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Ebola outbreak in the DRC and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
Medical services in South Sudan are extremely limited. Adequate medical treatment, as well as access to routine and emergency procedures, is often unavailable and even minor health issues could require medical evacuation.
All medical services, including medical evacuation, are at your expense.
If you purchase additional medical insurance, be sure to keep records of all medical services paid for and provided.
Unrest
Armed conflict is ongoing and includes fighting between various political and ethnic groups. Weapons are readily available to the population. In addition, cattle raids occur throughout the country, often leading to violence.
Journalists regularly report being harassed in South Sudan. Many have been killed while covering the conflict. Reporting in South Sudan without the proper documentation from the South Sudanese Media Authority is illegal. Any journalistic work there is very dangerous.
Crime
Violent crime is common throughout South Sudan, including Juba. This includes carjackings, shootings, ambushes, assaults, robberies, and kidnappings.
Foreign nationals have been the victims of rape, sexual assault, armed robberies, and other violent crimes.
Kidnapping
Criminal groups have kidnapped and threatened to kill or hurt people to force a third party, like a government, to act or abstain from doing something as a condition of release.
Kidnapping for ransom happens occasionally in…

Dernière actualisation le 12/03/2026, information toujours valable à la date du jour
L’ensemble du territoire sud-soudanais, à l’exception de sa capitale et des villes de Wau, Yambio et Aweil, est placé en zone formellement déconseillée.
La situation sécuritaire globale constitue un risque pour les voyageurs dans un pays dont l’État n’est en mesure d’assurer ni la sécurité des biens et des personnes sur un territoire qu’il ne contrôle pas intégralement, ni le fonctionnement des services essentiels (eau, électricité, hôpitaux, forces de sécurité), alors que la majorité de la population vit en dessous du seuil de pauvreté et se trouve en situation de forte insécurité alimentaire.
À Djouba, ainsi que dans les villes de Wau, Yambio et Aweil, la situation est dans l’ensemble calme et le niveau de criminalité est contenu. Les déplacements pour motifs professionnels peuvent être envisagés, sous réserve de se rendre dans ces villes exclusivement par voie aérienne et d’appliquer des règles strictes de sécurité.
Dans ces zones, il est recommandé de veiller à la sécurité de ses lieux de vie et de travail et de ne se déplacer qu’en véhicules motorisés (les deux-roues sont à exclure). Il convient d’éviter les déplacements de nuit, où les accidents de la route sont plus nombreux et les risques d’incidents plus fréquents. La situation aux nombreux points de contrôle mis en place la nuit peut en outre dégénérer à tout moment (menaces, extorsion etc.).
Le Soudan du Sud est en proie à un conflit interne depuis 2013. L’accord de paix du 12 septembre 2018 s’est traduit par une baisse significative des affrontements violents entre les forces gouvernementales et celles de l’opposition ou des milices locales. Toutefois, cette stabilisation est fragile, et le contexte social, politique et sécuritaire demeure très volatile dans la mesure où les forces belligérantes n’ont pas encore été désarmées et qu’un grand nombre d’armes circulent dans le pays.
De nombreux conflits locaux, d’origine ethnique ou liés à des luttes pour des ressources, en particulier le bétail, débouchent régulièrement sur des violences.
Les déplacements par voie terrestre au Soudan du Sud sont formellement déconseillés.
Il est recommandé de :
La criminalité touche l’ensemble du pays. Des agressions sont régulièrement rapportées (vols à main armée, vols avec effraction, enlèvements etc). Les étrangers ne sont pas spécifiquement visés mais peuvent être victimes de ces attaques.
Il convient de maintenir une vigilance élevée à tout moment et de limiter au maximum les déplacements, particulièrement de nuit. Il est recommandé d’éviter tout signe ostentatoire de richesse et de laisser ses objets de valeur dans des lieux sécurisés.
Des enlèvements surviennent occasionnellement et pourraient se multiplier sur la plupart des axes routiers, en raison de la détérioration de la situation socio-économique du pays. Il est recommandé de suivre des trajets et des horaires imprévisibles et irréguliers, afin d’éviter le repérage des véhicules et de constituer une cible pré-identifiée, ainsi que de prévenir des personnes de confiance des dates, trajets et horaires de déplacement dans les zones risquées et/ou isolées.
Le réseau routier, principalement constitué de pistes, est en mauvais état. Durant la saison des pluies (d’avril à octobre), les conditions de circulation se détériorent rapidement et la plupart des routes en dehors de Djouba deviennent impraticables.
Les accidents de la route sont fréquents, notamment sur l’axe principal reliant Djouba à l’Ouganda. Les habitudes de conduite sont imprévisibles, les véhicules sont vétustes et peu entretenus. La présence de piétons, de charrettes et d’animaux errants sur les routes constitue un danger supplémentaire.
Compte tenu des tensions prévalant dans une grande partie du pays, les coupeurs de routes prolifèrent. Tous les axes de circulation sont affectés par de nombreux barrages érigés par des hommes en armes. Plus de 70 barrages et points de contrôle existent entre Djouba et Bentiu sur ce qui constitue l’axe de communication nord-sud principal. La plupart exigent le versement d’une somme pouvant être supérieure à 1000 USD pour autoriser le passage. De nombreux incidents mortels tels que des tirs d’armes automatiques non motivés sur des véhicules ont lieu, notamment dans les zones sud de l’Equatoria central et de l’Equatoria oriental.
En ville, et notamment dans la capitale Djouba, les points de contrôle armés (officiels ou illégaux) sont nombreux et rendent les déplacements difficiles, particulièrement le soir. Les véhicules y sont généralement fouillés et leurs occupants financièrement sollicités.
Des pénuries de carburant sont apparues depuis mars 2021.
Les transports collectifs sont peu développés et régulièrement impliqués dans des accidents graves de la route. Il est préférable de disposer de son propre véhicule, autant que possible à quatre roues motrices.
Des mines et autres engins explosifs sont présents dans plusieurs régions du pays, y compris aux alentours de Djouba. Il convient de circuler sur les routes principales et de se renseigner auprès des autorités locales avant tout déplacement.
Même s’il demeure limité, le risque terroriste ne peut être totalement écarté compte tenu du contexte régional.
De manière générale, il est recommandé de :
Les Français de passage au Soudan du Sud sont vivement invités à signaler leur présence au ministère de l’Europe et des Affaires étrangères par l’intermédiaire de la plateforme Ariane .

FDFA update note — Le chapitre Situation générale a été actualisé. Toujours valable: Les voyages à destination du Soudan du Sud ainsi que les séjours de tout genre dans ce pays sont déconseillés. (published 04.02.2026)
Les voyages à destination du Soudan du Sud ainsi que les séjours de tout genre dans ce pays sont déconseillés. La situation est extrêmement instable et il y a des risques sécuritaires considérables dans tout le pays, y compris dans la capitale Djouba. Dans plusieurs régions du pays, en particulier dans l’Upper Nile, l’Unity et le Jonglei, des affrontements armés ainsi que des frappes aériennes font de nombreuses victimes et blessés. Dans les régions du Western Equatoria, du Central Equatoria et de l’Eastern Equatoria, y compris les zones frontalières, des combats entre groupes armés ont également été signalés plus fréquemment. Des conflits intercommunautaires violents éclatent en outre dans tout le pays, aggravant encore une situation sécuritaire déjà fragile. Les tensions dans la région frontalière avec le Soudan s’intensifient en raison des graves combats au Soudan. Le risque d’enlèvement est très élevé; il existe tant pour la population autochtone que pour les personnes de nationalité étrangère. Le taux de criminalité est très élevé. Il existe un risque d’être pris dans une fusillade ou risque d’être victime d’une agression criminelle violente. Dans tout le pays, les risques relatifs aux mines ne doivent pas être négligés. La rubrique terrorisme et enlèvements attire l'attention sur les risques liés au terrorisme. Terrorisme et enlèvements Les personnes de nationalité suisse, qui se rendent au Soudan du Sud en dépit des recommandations du DFAE doivent être conscients que la Suisse n'a que des possibilités limitées, voire aucune, d'apporter de l'aide en cas d'urgence.

Your travel insurance could be invalidated if you travel against advice from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
## FCDO advises against all travel to South Sudan
FCDO advises against all travel to South Sudan due to the risk of armed violence and criminality.
See more about safety and security in South Sudan.
The political and security situation remains unpredictable. Political tensions are high and the security situation across the country could deteriorate rapidly and unpredictably.
If the unstable security situation deteriorates, routes into and out of South Sudan may be blocked. Juba airport may close or be inaccessible. Flights may be cancelled at short notice.
Regional developments may also affect international transport. For example, in 2019 and 2023, events in Sudan caused South Sudan’s airspace to close temporarily.
Consular assistance to British nationals is severely limited in South Sudan. In person consular assistance is not available.
FCDO continues to advise against all travel to South Sudan. If you choose to remain in South Sudan, you do so at your own risk. You should have a personal emergency plan that does not rely on the UK government. This includes the ability to leave the country or to shelter in place, if you judge that to be the safer choice. Make sure to keep all travel documentation up to date, stock up on essential supplies, and monitor the local situation.
You should not assume that FCDO will be able to provide assistance to leave the country in the event of serious unrest or crisis.
If there is civil disorder, stay somewhere safe and limit your movements as much as possible. Avoid all protests, political rallies and large gatherings, and follow the instructions of local authorities and security services.
If you choose to travel, research your destinations and get appropriate travel insurance . Insurance should cover your itinerary, planned activities and expenses in an emergency.

There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times.
UK Counter Terrorism Policing has information and advice on staying safe and what to do in the event of a terrorist attack. Find out how to reduce your risk from terrorism while abroad .
Although there’s no recent history of terrorism in South Sudan, attacks cannot be ruled out.
Attacks could be indiscriminate including in places visited by foreigners. Stay aware of your surroundings, keep up to date with local media reports and follow the advice of local authorities.

There is a high risk of serious crime such as robbery and assault in Juba and other urban areas, particularly at night and on public transport. There are drive-by robberies by individuals or groups on motorbikes.
There are regular attacks by armed groups and accidents on the Juba-Nimule road, the main supply route from Uganda into South Sudan.
Criminals in South Sudan are often armed.
It is extremely difficult for businesses and non-governmental organisations to work in South Sudan. Although the number of aid workers killed in targeted attacks has fallen in recent years, South Sudan remains one of the most dangerous environments in the world for aid workers. There are incidents of criminal kidnapping, violence, intimidation and arbitrary detention.
Checkpoints operated by soldiers or other armed men are common in and around Juba, particularly after dark. Armed men at checkpoints have been known to demand money from drivers and abuse people, especially women. Roadblocks can create volatile and dangerous situations and are often put up after sunset, so it advisable not to travel after dark.
Armed conflict, including violence targeting civilians is common throughout South Sudan. Fighting often starts quickly and unpredictably. Follow instructions from local authorities.
On 4 March 2025, there were reports of intense fighting in Nasir, Upper Nile State.
On the 16 and 17 January 2025, there was sporadic gunfire and looting…

Police can ask to see photo ID. Always carry a colour copy of your passport with you.
There are severe penalties for using or trafficking drugs in South Sudan, including the death penalty and life imprisonment.
Do not take photographs close to government buildings, military installations, bridges, airports, public utilities (including petrol stations) and other sensitive areas. Plainclothes public security officers operate in Juba and across South Sudan.
Same-sex relationships are not culturally accepted. Same-sex sexual activity between men is illegal and punishable by a prison sentence of up to 14 years. LGBT+ travellers are at risk of discrimination and violence. Read more advice for LGBT+ travellers.
International credit and debit cards are not widely accepted, although some of the newer hotels and supermarkets are starting to.

Health spending of 73 USD per person (Switzerland: 11,784) goes with private hospitals that bill foreigners in hard currency and ask for a guarantee before admission: the direct payment guarantee is what avoids the deposit.

In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services first, then Maximum: +41 22 ••• •• •• — 24/7 support number, an adviser stays with you to the end.
The 207 country pages — hospitals, pharmacies, police, embassies, emergency numbers, official advice from four governments, health, safety in figures, events in progress — read around the city you name. Your policy — benefits, the six steps, claims, articles. The site — prices, certificate, subscription. Nothing else: what it does not know, it says so and hands you to an adviser.
The published advisory level is national, but risk is not: business hubs (Djouba) do not share the profile of border areas. The medical network shown on this page is computed around Juba — real hospitals, evacuation airport and live alerts. Before a specific trip, always cross-check your country of residence's advisory: that is what your policy cites.
Same advisory level: Haiti · Iraq · Iran · Lebanon · Libya · Mali
The displayed level comes from the State Department, checked every morning. Before departure, always cross-check your country of residence's advisory: that is what your policy cites.
The level shown is the official U.S. Department of State level, checked daily. Maximum Insurance is an insurance distributor — general information, not personal advice.
