1 mission of Italy in South Sudan: Consulate of Italy in Juba, South Sudan. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Yahya John Majak Malual, Honorary Consul (as of 2024)
Italy is an appealing destination for some South Sudanese travelers due to its rich history, culture, and iconic cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence. With millions of tourists visiting each year, it offers a unique experience that could attract a segment of South Sudan's 11 million population.
Italy is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those from South Sudan. According to the Global Peace Index, Italy ranks 33rd out of 160 countries, indicating a relatively high level of safety compared to South Sudan, which ranks 158th. In terms of crime statistics, Italy has a significantly lower murder rate of 0.5 per 100,000 people, compared to South Sudan's 14.9. Additionally, various organized crime indices suggest that Italy, while facing challenges with organized crime, has a more robust law enforcement presence and lower levels of violent crime compared to South Sudan. While Italy is ranked 34th in terms of safety when walking alone at night among 40 European countries, it remains a safer option for tourists than South Sudan. Overall, travelers from South Sudan can expect a safer environment in Italy, but as with any travel, it is advisable to remain vigilant and informed about local conditions.
