Important Notes

Due to the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis, travel to Yemen is extremely dangerous and not recommended by most governments. Many embassies and consulates of Yemen are closed or have severely limited services. Obtaining a visa is exceptionally difficult and often requires a compelling reason (e.g., humanitarian aid, journalism, or official business) and a strong local sponsor. Tourist visas are generally not being issued. Travelers should consult the nearest Yemeni diplomatic mission for the most current and specific requirements, though obtaining a response may be challenging. Entry may also require special permissions from authorities within Yemen. The situation is highly fluid and unpredictable.
