What is the typical dress code at work and in public places? Is formal dress ever required?
Business casual. Tie and jacket are appropriate for meetings with government officials, but a suit would never be required. - Mar 2023
Business casual for most; two suits is sufficient for a year-long tour. The weather is hot and humid year-round, with significant rainfall for half the year. Don't bring your favorite clothes. . .in fact, don't bring much at all. Mold is an issue, and you will get wet and muddy and many people leave the majority of their clothing behind when they depart post. A raincoat, sturdy shoes, and an umbrella are essential. Cotton and tactical-type clothing are common as clothes take a beating in South Sudan. There are no places to buy clothing locally that embassy staff are allowed to access, so bring enough for the year, but I find that I need little variety when it comes to clothing here. This is a good place to exercise minimalism. - Sep 2020
