Nationality Act of 1994 (Amendment)

Amendments made in 2011 to the Sudanese Nationality Act 1994 include prohibiting dual nationality with South Sudan by having individuals who acquire South Sudanese citizenship, either “de jure or de facto”, to automatically lose their Sudanese nationality. The amendments also stipulate that a foreign national must reside in Sudan for more than 10 years (an increase of five years) to be granted nationality.
