Hi guys

Today I started my first xONE from KRT (out of 3). This time things went relatively smoothly but I fear the next one will be more difficult....

The first trip is a DONE4 to Australia and South America. It will end it in KRT and will immediately (back the same flight (AMM)) start a AONE3. Then I will let it “rest” for some months in AMM, finish it in KRT and immediately start a DONE3. So far so good.

I am Austrian citizen and got a tourist visa at the Sudanese embassy in Vienna without any problems (70 Euro). Took a LH award flight to KRT yesterday (via FRA) and stayed in the German Guest House (not cheap but includes airport transfer and breakfast/dinner).
Got up at 4:45 to reach the flight to AMM. Only slight hiccup was that immigration forced me to pay an exit fee of 236 Sudanese pounds - did any of you guys ever have to pay for that? Didn’t have any local cash on me but they accepted 40 USD (probably a very bad conversion rate but I had no choice). Rest of checking in went smoothly. They could not check me (and my luggage) through to HKG (via LHR) so I will have to do that in AMM.

After my experience with immigration today and antkleve’s report I am a bit worried about the next change over in KRT as it will be a TWOV without valid visa. Fingers crossed. I will keep you updated.
