Yemenis need a visa before they travel to Dubai. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists Yemen as visa required, so nothing can be bought at the airport. We check your passport and papers, then file the visit through a licensed Dubai sponsor or through a family member who lives in the UAE.
What we read and what we did not
The MOFA visa exemptions page shows the Republic of Yemen as visa required, checked . We found no separate UAE rule for Yemeni nationals. We also found no agency price range and no official page for the Yemeni mission, so those parts stay short.
Costs from the government side
GDRFA fees for a tourist visa, VAT included:
| Stay | Single entry | Multiple entry |
|---|---|---|
| 30 days | AED 210 | AED 315 |
| 60 days | AED 315 | AED 525 |

If a family member invites you
Anyone living in the UAE can ask ICP or GDRFA to sponsor a visit visa. The ICP income tiers are AED 4,000 a month for first degree relatives, AED 8,000 for second and third degree and AED 15,000 for friends. The host adds an Emirates ID and residence proof.
What you send us
- A passport scan with 6 months or more of validity
- A photo on a white background
- A ticket showing when you leave the UAE
- UAE valid health insurance
GDRFA lists 48 hours for a complete tourist file.
Leaving Yemen is the hard part
Canada says commercial flights from Yemen are extremely limited and may be suspended without notice. The UK says embassy services in Sana'a are suspended and warns about airspace closures. Confirm an airline and an airport before you pay for a visa.
Yemeni mission in the UAE
A directory lists the Embassy of Yemen in Abu Dhabi and a consulate in Dubai. We could not open an official page. They handle passports and attestations, not UAE visas.
How it works with us
Write to us on WhatsApp or use the form on this page. An adviser looks at your passport and goal, then names the route and sends a single total. After you agree, our team files the request and chases it until the e-visa is issued. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private visa service. GDRFA and ICP decide.
If a visa is refused, the authorities do not return their fees. Before you pay, the adviser writes down what part of our total would come back, if any.
