Yemen

The Yemeni passport allows travelers to visit several countries either without a visa, with a visa on arrival, or through simple online systems such as eVisa and eTA.

Applying for an eVisa or eTA has made travel much easier for Yemeni citizens. These electronic systems allow them to apply for a visa online without having to visit the embassy and reduce waiting times.

However, some destinations still require a traditional visa application through embassies or consulates.

Whether you’re applying for a regular visa or a digital one, you need to make sure that your passport is valid for at least six (6) months beyond your intended stay to avoid any issues during your travels.

As the visa regulations vary by destination and can change at any time without notice, it’s always important to check the latest visa rules before planning a trip.

Yemeni citizens can apply for an eVisa or eTa to these countries effortlessly with us:

An eVisa is an online visa that allows Yemeni travelers to apply without visiting an embassy or consulate. Once approved, the visa is sent via email. You can either save the eVisa to your phone or print a copy to show it at the airport of your destination country during immigration.

An eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is a digital permit that is also linked directly to your passport. It’s a short-term travel permit to get the online visa at the destination country.

While an eVisa works like an online version of a regular visa, an eTA comes with a time frame to collect the visa. If a traveller fails to reach the destination within that time period and get the visa, the eTA becomes invalid, and they have to apply for a new eTA.

Below are the countries that offer eVisa or eTA options for Yemeni citizens:

A Visa on Arrival (VoA) allows Yemeni travellers to get their visa directly at the airport or border upon arrival. This option is convenient for fast travel as there’s no need to apply for a visa before departure.

However, it’s important to remember that visa fees, allowed stay period, and entry rules can differ from one country to another. Travelers should always check the latest entry conditions before booking flights.

Here are the countries offering a Visa on Arrival to Yemeni citizens:

Yemeni citizens can travel visa-free to a few countries, which allows them to enter and stay for a short period. Here are the destinations that currently allow visa-free entry for Yemeni nationals:

Even though Yemeni citizens have access to several eVisa, eTA, and visa-free destinations, there are still many countries that require a traditional visa before travel. Currently, 114 countries require Yemeni travelers to apply through embassies or consulates.

Applying for these visas usually involves submitting a complete visa form, passport-sized photos, a valid passport, and proof of accommodation or invitation. In some cases, applicants may also need to show return tickets and bank statements to prove they can cover their expenses abroad.

The good news is that most embassies now provide partial online application options. This means you may apply online for a traditional visa. But you must still visit in person for biometric data or interviews.

Visa approval times can take from a few working days to several weeks, depending on the destination and purpose of the travel. To avoid last-minute issues, it’s always best to start your application process early, ideally a few weeks before your travel date.

Here’s the list of countries that require a traditional visa for Yemeni citizens:

When applying for a visa, most countries require the following documents from Yemeni citizens:

• Valid Passport: Must be valid for at least six (6) months beyond the travel date. 
• Visa Application Form: Complete the application form with accurate personal and travel details.
• Photograph: A recent passport-sized photo with a white background.
• Flight Tickets: Proof of a return or onward flight ticket.
• Proof of Accommodation/Stay: Hotel booking, or invitation later from a host.
