For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

Under Yemen's law on the entry and abode of foreigners, a foreigner's passport or travel document must be marked with permission to enter and with an entry visa issued by the Authority or another body empowered by the government; the Minister of Interior may exempt some Arab and other nationalities on a reciprocal basis with Council of Ministers approval.

  • The list of nationalities exempted under Article 4 is not in the captured sources.
  • The law is general; it does not name the Family visit visa specifically.

What short-visit purposes does this route cover?

The official portal lists a family visit, supported by documents that confirm the kinship, as one of the visit purposes. The Family Visit Visa requires a request from a Yemeni or foreign resident host and proof of kinship. The official source does not state any other permitted purpose for this visa.

What important funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance, onward-travel or passport evidence may be required?

Entry requires a valid passport issued by the foreigner's own country, or a travel document replacing it that gives the holder the right to return to that country. The official sources do not state any funds, accommodation or insurance requirement.

Limits of the record
  • Family-visit-specific documents (host request, proof of kinship, round-trip tickets) appear only inside the oversized citation of the certified purpose answer (r2) and were not re-cited here.
  • No funds, accommodation or insurance requirement is stated in the captured sources.
  • https://natlex.ilo.org/dyn/natlex2/natlex2/files/download/83555/YEM83555.pdf
    Article (3) : It shall not be permissible for a foreigner to enter the territories of the Republic unless he holds a valid passport issued by the competent authority in his country, or a travel document that takes its place issued by such authority and empowering its holder with the right of return to his country.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm where to apply and when a stay can be extended or changed.

Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_RESPONDE: Source 31f99577714fc1ee clearly answers where/how: Family visit visa stickers are issued by Yemeni embassies and consulates based on IPNA approval (portal data and fees); the redactor admits this in the nota and left it empty; only the extension part is truly absent.)

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
