Vice-President for Services Cluster Hussein Abdelbagi Akol made the announcement during a meeting with Sudanese professionals in Juba on Tuesday.
He stressed that Sudanese are part of South Sudanese society and should feel at home.
“We do not see Sudanese as different from us,” he said. “We see them as part of this nation and for this reason [I] told them to feel at home because this is their home and should feel free to work anywhere anytime. They need no work permit in this country.”
Thousands of Sudanese have been displaced to South Sudan since the outbreak of war in April, with most of them being professionals such as doctors, journalists, and other categories.
A 2012 cooperation agreement between Sudan and South Sudan gives citizens of both countries the right to reside, work, move, acquire, and dispose of property without restriction and pursue economic activities in both countries.
