Of the 8 planets, Neptune is the furthest planet from the sun, taking the longest time to complete one orbit, 164.79 years in total.

There are Dwarf planets and other bodies yet to be confirmed as dwarf planets, which are further out from the sun than Neptune. Pluto in one such dwarf planet, which takes 248 years to complete one orbit.

Eris is the furthest of the five dwarf planets though, this takes 557 years to make one orbit of our sun.

There is also Sedna, not currently classed as a dwarf planet, but it is thought to be one by many. Sedna's furthest point in orbit away from sun) is estimated to be 960 astronomical units (32 times Neptune's distance), while its closest apprach is 76 astronomical units (AU). It is though to take around 11,400 years to make one orbit of our sun.
