What Yemen may ask for

Not every traveller is asked for all of these. A valid passport is checked every time; the rest is a spot check at the border, and some items belong to a visa application rather than the crossing itself.

  • Passport valid 6+ months with 2 blank pages
  • Passport photo 35x45mm, white background
  • Hotel booking or invitation from sponsor
  • Return flight or onward travel itinerary
  • Proof of sufficient funds for your stay
