Getting a visa for Yemen in the UAE
I need a visa for Yemen and can't get any response from the embassy - emails unanswered and standard answerphone message. Has anyone had to get one since they changed the rules so you can no longer just buy them at the airport? I don't fancy a trip to Dubai or AD from Al Ain only to find the office closed. I'm getting a bit pushed for time.

Re: Getting a visa for Yemen in the UAE
I can imagine that it is the same as the Saudi visa Process, in this case the embassy is not interested untill you apply with a typing center we provide the services for Saudi visa's and I can find out about yemeni visa's if you are still looking

Re: Getting a visa for Yemen in the UAE
its changed since jan 2010, pre organised visa required. you get the actual visa in the airport but you must have the visa letter from issued to present to them.

They did - since the attempted bombing at Christmas was traced to Anwar al-Awlaki. They want to stop would-be western extremists from entering so any european/American visitors have to get their visas in advance with a supporting letter.

so still no luck? things have probably gotten a little tighter since the UPS stuff this weekend.
Didn't know you could collect the visa in the airport though - I'll check it out, might save me hassle. Things still going well over there? |

what you get is an A4 sheet emailed to you with the visa details etc, so when you get to the airport you give this to the guy in a booth before passport control and he attaches the visa to your passport.. you need this A4 sheet to present it for the visa.
yeah so far so good, i like the place despite their tendency to want to shoot foreigners or bomb cargo planes! Ah OK. And you get the A4 sheet from the embassy after giving them your sponsorship letter and fees? Actually, I'm not sure I trust the organisation of Yemen that much - would rather have it pritt-sticked to my passport before getting on the plane!! |

Would love to visit there sometime - although anywhere outside of Sana'a worries me a bit... Socotra is absolutely completely 100% safe. They don't even allow guns on the island (only the soldiers). The thing that worry's me most is the overnight stay in Sana'a, although I've never had any problems there either. If you want to go, you literally land in Sana'a, taxi straight to the airport and come back early the next morning for the flight to Socotra. Friendliest people of anywhere I've ever been - both Socotra and Sana'a. |

I dont think you'll get the visa because they want to make sure you are actually there before its pasted into your passport. if there is no one in the booth, it will be the guy in the hall having a smoke. |

yeah well its sort of an official looking document, it appears just like the embassy or whoever apply online and it is mailed to them to print and give to you.
