Yemen Visa – Yemen Visa & Travel Information

Is Yemen the next destination that you have in mind? If so, you will have to obtain a Yemen visa in order to travel there on tourism, business, and official purposes. Also, your passport should be in order and up to date. A minimum of 6 months validity should be left on your passport before traveling to Yemen, a minimum of (2) blank visa pages should be in your passport book, and a transit visa may be needed if connecting flights in specific countries. Inquire with your airline company about the details of your flight and if a transit visa is necessary.

Yemen Tourist Visa

Currently, we do not have the necessary documentation needed for a tourist visa. However, the documents that are typically needed are a Yemen visa application form, your signed United States passport with at least 6 months validity, (2) passport photographs, an itinerary of your trip, and proof of a yellow fever vaccination. Also, you should provide a copy of your hotel reservations with the applicant’s name on the reservation for the hotel, or if staying with friends, a notarized letter of invitation from them.

Yemen Business Visa

To obtain a business Yemen visa, your documents should include a Yemen visa application form, your signed United States passport with at least 6 months validity, (2) passport photographs, a doctor’s note that confirms the applicant is free of contagious diseases, business letter and business invitation. A business invitation should entail an introduction of the applicant, the type of the business being conducted on the trip, and state the type of visa and desired validity length. The same will apply for a business letter with one more requirement. You will have to prove adequate funds for your traveling purposes with a business letter. Both the letter and invitation should be written on the company’s letterhead that you are employed with.

For an official visa, your documents should include a Yemen visa application form, your signed United States passport with at least 6 months validity, (2) passport photographs, and a State Department Letter addressed to the “Embassy of Yemen, Washington, D.C.” and should describe the reason for the trip along with travel dates.
