Visa Yemen

Asie · Asie de l’Ouest

No official portal describing a visa procedure could be confirmed for Yemen. Three pages of a site presenting itself as that of the ministry of foreign affairs and expatriates were read on 2026-09-18: they describe neither visa type, nor filing, nor document, nor fee. The state domain mofa.gov.ye refused the connection. An electronic visa portal exists on a non-governmental domain, whose official status remains to be established. No procedure is therefore described here.

The information on this page helps prepare a case. Only the competent authority decides; always check the official source before filing an application.

Practical guide

No official portal describing a visa procedure is confirmed for this territory. No visa category, no step, no document, no fee and no processing time is written here: nothing of the kind was read on an official page.

What was read on 2026-09-18. Three pages of mofa-ye.org, a site which presents itself as that of the ministry of foreign affairs and expatriates of the Republic of Yemen. The home page announces sections devoted to embassies, consulates and permanent missions, with no information on visas or the entry of foreign nationals. The page on the ministry's functions and competences states that it issues, renews and cancels diplomatic and special passports in accordance with the law, that it organises the exchange of diplomatic and consular representation and supervises the work of the missions, and that it looks after the interests of Yemenis abroad. It does not mention the issuance of visas to foreign nationals. The diplomatic missions page distinguishes embassies, consulates and permanent missions, without detailing any visa service.

What could not be read: the state domain mofa.gov.ye, which refused the connection on 2026-09-18.

An electronic visa application portal was opened. It states that it is operated by the immigration, passports and nationality authority, attached to the ministry of the interior. Its domain is, however, not governmental and the title returned by the page does not match that authority: its official status is not established. It is listed as a source lead and was not used to write any rule.

General guidance: contact the embassy or consulate of Yemen competent for your country of residence. Also check the recommendations and restrictions published by the ministry of foreign affairs of your country of residence.

Frequently asked questions

Is a visa required to travel to Yemen?

It depends on nationality and purpose; the rule reviewed by VisaGuideline is shown with the nationality selector on this page. Always check with the authority.

Where is the application filed?

Not stated on the portal consulted. None of the pages read on 2026-09-18 describes the filing of a visa application. Contact the diplomatic or consular representation of Yemen competent for your country of residence.

Is there an electronic visa?

Not stated on the portal consulted. An electronic visa application portal was opened and states that it is operated by the immigration, passports and nationality authority, but its domain is not governmental and its official status is not established. No rule is drawn from it here.

Why does this page not describe the procedure?

Because no official page describing a visa procedure could be read. The three ministerial pages read on 2026-09-18 mention neither visa type, nor filing, nor document, nor fee, and the state domain mofa.gov.ye refused the connection.

What does the ministry of foreign affairs do in relation to travel documents?

According to the functions and competences page read on 2026-09-18, the ministry issues, renews and cancels diplomatic and special passports in accordance with the law, organises the exchange of diplomatic and consular representation, supervises the work of the missions and looks after the interests of Yemenis abroad. The page does not mention the issuance of visas to foreign nationals.

Are there other sources to consult before a trip?

Yes: the ministry of foreign affairs of your country of residence publishes recommendations and, where applicable, travel restrictions specific to this destination. These documents do not replace the decision of the destination authority, which alone issues or refuses a visa.

Consulted sources

Official pages read to write this guide, with the date they were read. A page may have changed since: check it before taking any step.

What this guide does not know yet

Points the official source does not specify and which this guide therefore left blank. Ask the competent authority about them before filing an application.

Prepare my case

This method is the same for every destination. It does not list any document as an official requirement: only the authority’s source is authoritative.

  1. Describe your situation

    Nationality, residence, purpose and dates. The checker tells covered routes apart from situations that are still unknown.

  2. Check at the source

    Open the destination’s official source and compare it with your situation before starting a procedure.

  3. Track what is left to do

    Your space keeps your answers and your declared checklist. A complete checklist does not announce a favorable decision.
