Yemen Visa for Pakistan Citizens 2026

Visa Required

Pakistani citizens need a visa for Yemen, applied for through the Yemeni embassy — consular services are limited due to the ongoing conflict, so processing times and fees vary and travel advisories strongly discourage visits.

Guide last updated October 21, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay
  • Completed Yemeni visa application form
  • Two passport-size photos, white background
  • Letter of invitation from a host or sponsoring organisation in Yemen (often required given current conditions)
  • Proof of purpose of travel (business contract, NGO assignment, or family ties)
  • Bank statements showing sufficient funds
  • Note: due to the ongoing conflict, many standard tourist-visa services are suspended or severely limited, and most travel is restricted to essential business, humanitarian, or diplomatic purposes

Visa types

  • Business Visa — requires a local sponsor/company invitation, most commonly issued category under current conditions
  • Work Visa — for employment, requires a labour/work permit arranged by the employer in Yemen
  • Tourist Visa — technically exists but is rarely issued at present given the security situation; most embassies are not processing routine tourist applications

How to apply

  • Contact the Yemeni embassy or consulate serving Pakistan to confirm current operating status, as services have been intermittently suspended
  • Submit the application form with photos, passport copy, invitation letter, and purpose-of-travel documents
  • Provide any additional security clearance or sponsor verification documents requested by the embassy
  • Processing and issuance timelines are unpredictable and depend heavily on the current diplomatic and security situation
  • Confirm entry point and internal travel restrictions with the sponsor/host before finalizing travel, as domestic movement within Yemen is heavily restricted

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: varies, commonly in the range of USD 30-100 depending on visa category and the issuing mission
  • Processing time: highly variable, from a few weeks to significantly longer, due to limited embassy operations
  • No standard expedited service is available given current conditions
  • Budget for unpredictable delays and confirm fee amounts directly with the embassy before applying, as published rates may be outdated

Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Check current travel advisories from the Government of Pakistan and international bodies before planning any trip to Yemen, given the active conflict
  • Only travel for essential, well-sponsored purposes (humanitarian work, business with established local partners) and arrange ground logistics and security support in advance
  • Register with the Pakistani embassy/consulate covering Yemen before and during the visit for consular assistance
  • Keep the host/sponsoring organisation's contact details accessible at all times
  • Travel insurance covering high-risk/conflict zones is strongly recommended, as standard policies often exclude such areas
  • Reassess travel plans close to the departure date, as the security situation can change rapidly
