TPS South Sudan is ending
South Sudan’s TPS designation is ending. The last day of TPS is January 5, 2026. After that date:
- People from South Sudan with TPS will no longer have this protection.
- Work permits through TPS will no longer be valid.
Work permits
If your TPS work permit (EAD) was set to expire on November 3, 2025, it is now automatically extended through January 5, 2026. You can keep using it as proof that you are allowed to work until that date.

What happens when TPS expires?
If you do not have another legal immigration status besides TPS, you will become undocumented and lose your work authorization. If you stay without legal status, you will risk being detained and deported.
