\u201cHe [Kiir] confirmed to us that the prime minister informed him that people will be using emergency travel document between South Sudan and Sudan,\u201d Lt.-Gen. Atem Marol said.<\/p>\n

Since 2011, Sudan has only accepted entry for South Sudanese with passports. The passports must also still be valid for six months. All travelers from South Sudan were required to obtain an entry visa from the Sudanese embassy before arriving in Sudan.<\/p>\n

But that is now going to change, though one will obtain visa on arrival. \u201cAn emergency travel document is cheaper than a passport and we can issue it in one minute,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The decision is expected to take effect once the two countries resume the implementation of the 2012 cooperation agreement. The deal allows for the free movement of people and goods across the borders. It also permits citizens of Sudan and South Sudan to own property, residence, and seek employment in both countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
