Primary guidance checked with Immigration, Passports and Nationality Authority, Republic of Yemen on 15 November 2026.

Overview

Portal: lawful entry, host request/identification, passport valid six months and entry/residence evidence. Portal residence validity is more than three months; the Interior archive says at least three months and describes three-month visa validity. Confirm the actual current threshold and return deadline. The permission must actually cover return; it does not renew underlying residence or remove departure restrictions. The Foreign Ministry identifies this portal in its 24 June 2025 launch announcement. A listed category is not individual approval or proof of current acceptance at every mission or port. Confirm the competent authority, nationality, purpose, receiving mission or port, permitted activity and assessed charges. Some public FAQ agency references are inconsistent; obtain actual IPNA instructions rather than assuming those examples establish Yemeni procedures.

Application pathway

  1. Check the route fit

    Identify the actual purpose and obtain IPNA and receiving mission or port instructions.

  2. Build the evidence pack

    Prepare the specific identity, host, purpose, health and approval evidence required for the case.

  3. Submit through the official channel

    Submit only through the instructed official channel and obtain the assessed charge; an application or payment is not approval.

  4. After approval

    Follow the actual grant, activity and expiry conditions. Arrange separate residence, work, extension, exit or re-entry permission when required.

After approval: prepare for your next step

For Exit and Re-entry Visa — Single Trip, use the actual decision and the issuing authority’s instructions to establish what has been granted. A successful application, permission to enter, permission to work and a residence document are not interchangeable.

  1. 1. Check the decision. Confirm the name, passport, status granted, start date and any next action. Resolve an error with the authority before relying on the document for travel or employment.
  2. 2. Establish the travel step. Read any entry window, activation, collection or in-country registration instruction. For an extension or change of status, do not assume leaving the country is required or safe while a further step remains pending.
  3. 3. Confirm what you may do. Check whether employment, self-employment, remote work or study is permitted under the status granted. Do not infer unrestricted work rights from the absence of an employer sponsor.
  4. 4. Organise the household. Check each accompanying person’s permission separately, then arrange healthcare, accommodation, access to money and the relevant local registrations. A tax number or bank account does not by itself prove a right to work.
  5. 5. Keep the ongoing conditions visible. Record the actual expiry, renewal process, permitted absences and any duty to report changes. An initial grant does not automatically establish permanent residence or citizenship.
