Sudan's industrial sector, contributing 7% to the country's GDP, is experiencing rapid growth. Diversified activities such as electronics assembly, agricultural processing, furniture production, tanning, and sugar manufacturing are driving this development.
The oil industry plays a crucial role in Sudan's economic landscape, with exports reaching countries like Japan, China, South Korea, Indonesia, and India.
The Sudanese government is actively implementing measures to enhance employment prospects for the working-age population, introducing more flexible terms of employment.

In Sudan, work permits and visas are essential for employers hiring foreign workers. The process involves submitting applications, paying fees, and meeting specific eligibility criteria. The key visa types include the Temporary Work Visa, Employment Visa, and Investor Visa. Employers must ensure compliance with local labor regulations when sponsoring foreign employees and navigate the application process to avoid delays and legal complications.
The annual leave entitlement in Sudan is 20 - 30 days for a full time worker. These can include public holidays on top of that or within those days, which would otherwise be unpaid.
An Employer of Record (EOR) helps businesses manage annual leave, paid time off (PTO), and local holidays across the globe, including in Sudan. By partnering with an EOR, companies ensure full compliance with local labor laws in Sudan when it comes to annual leave and time-off management. EOR providers like Playroll offer platforms that simplify tracking and managing employee time off in Sudan. By outsourcing this responsibility to Playroll, you can streamline leave management, ensure compliance, and free up time to focus on other business priorities.
