Argentina to Yemen visa requirements

Yes, an Argentine ordinary passport holder needs a visa to enter Yemen. There is no visa-free or simple visa-on-arrival channel. Yemen launched an electronic visa system in June 2025, but it mainly handles group tourism, business and transit applications and requires a local sponsor or travel-agent letter, so most independent travelers still obtain the visa in advance through a Yemeni diplomatic mission. Note: Yemen carries Level 4 'Do Not Travel' advisories due to armed conflict, terrorism and kidnapping. Argentine citizens are not on any Yemeni visa-waiver or visa-on-arrival list, so a visa must be obtained before travel. Yemen's Immigration, Passports and Nationality Authority introduced an eVisa portal (yemenevisa.org) on 24 June 2025, implemented with IOM support, covering group tourism, business, work, diplomatic and transit categories. Individual leisure tourism remains heavily restricted: applications generally require a sponsoring travel agent or in-country host, a health certificate, return ticket and a passport valid 180+ days. The single-entry visit visa fee is about USD 50, valid 3 months from issue, typically allowing a stay of up to 30 days; visitors must register with local authorities within two weeks of arrival. Processing is roughly 3-5 working days for the eVisa channel but commonly about two weeks via an embassy. Because the eVisa is group/sponsor-oriented rather than an open individual tourist eVisa, and sources advise confirming with the mission, the conservative verdict is visa-required. Critically, Yemen is in active civil war; the US, UK and most governments maintain the highest 'Do Not Travel' warnings, the US Embassy in Sana'a has been closed since 2015, and consular help is unavailable.
