Guide last updated September 28, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay
  • Completed Yemeni visa application form
  • 2 recent passport-size photos
  • Invitation letter from a sponsor or host in Yemen (often required)
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the trip
  • Confirmed return ticket
  • Travel insurance covering the trip is strongly recommended given current conditions

Visa types

  • Tourist visa — single entry, typically valid up to 30 days, fee around USD 50
  • Business visa — requires a formal invitation/sponsorship letter from a Yemeni entity
  • Note: routine tourist visa issuance is limited or suspended in many areas due to the ongoing conflict — check current embassy guidance before applying

How to apply

  • Locate the nearest operating Yemeni embassy or consulate, as Yemen has no mission in Zambia; applications are usually routed through a regional embassy
  • Submit the form, photos, invitation letter, and fee payment as instructed
  • Processing and issuance depend heavily on the current security and diplomatic situation, so confirm the mission is actively issuing visas before applying
  • Collect the passport with the visa sticker once approved

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately USD 50
  • No standard agency service fee when applying directly at the embassy
  • Standard processing time: 5-10 business days when services are operating normally, but can be significantly longer
  • No express service currently available

Tips for Zambia travelers

  • Check your government's latest travel advisory for Yemen before booking any trip — travel to Yemen carries serious safety risks
  • Confirm with the handling embassy that visa services are currently active before submitting documents or fees
  • Common rejection reasons: no clear sponsor/invitation or an unclear purpose of travel
  • Register with your embassy or a trusted contact once in-country given the security situation
