    FAQ

    Yes. The Embassy of Yemen in Washington requires an invitation letter from Yemen's Department of Immigration for every visa, lists Gulf states including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain among the nationalities that need one, and says it is not issuing tourist visas at this time.
