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.
