Tax residency in Sudan

How to become a tax resident — and how hard it is to leave.

How to become a tax resident

• 183 days or more in the period
• present in Sudan in the period and both preceding periods
• cumulative stay exceeding 12 months over the current and two preceding periods

Sudan does not offer investment or digital-nomad residence routes, and long-term stay for a foreign individual is generally only possible via employer-sponsored work permits and potentially discretionary permanent residence based on long-term employment, family ties, or significant investment.

Official guidance ties individual residence to day-count presence, not citizenship or domicile. In practice, stopping residency should be straightforward if the person leaves Sudan and no longer meets the day-count tests.
