Visa Office Update:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Alhumdulillah, the Yemeni office is starting to reopen - so we advise those who are planning to travel to prepare إن شاء الله .

HOWEVER, as it is the end of the year, this is the season where the students in Yemen are all renewing their documents, so as you can imagine, it is very busy.

We will further update you when the Visa process is fully open for new applications.
May Allah reward you all for your patience, and we ask Allah to keep our hearts firm on acting upon this necessity of travelling to the lands of the Muslims to live and study.

بارك الله فيكم ،

Question:
I have been waiting for my Visa for a while, how long does it take?
Is there any way I can speed it up?

Answer:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الحمد الله،
There are many brothers and sisters who have come to Yemen, and many more that are preparing. May Allah make their affairs easy for them and reward them for their efforts.
Typically, an Entry Visa takes between 2 weeks to a month (currently) to arrive - from the application date. At quiet times this can be much quicker, and during busy periods it can slightly extend. I advise you to only apply for the Yemeni Visa once you are ready/very close to being ready and have your affairs in order to travel.

Also please take into consideration if you plan to stay in Saudi Arabia for a short time before going to Yemen. For most people they will enter Yemen going through Saudi Arabia, and of course one should take the opportunity to perform Umrah if they are able.
Note: Once your Entry Visa has arrived, you have 30 days to enter Yemen - so plan accordingly.

Please be patient and know that we cannot speed up the process and that it is dealt solely by our contact in Aden who liaises with the Passport Office - there is no harm in requesting updates, but try and understand that it is not in our hands and these things can take time. Also note that like any other Visa/Government documentation, that once submitted, the Passport office does not offer refunds.
(And note that we make 0 pounds from this process, and we are helping only for the Sake of Allah)

The ability to get a Yemeni Visa has not always been this smooth, it used to be very difficult to get and at times not available at all. I don’t know of any other Muslim country that allows Muslims to come and stay for such a cheap price and simple process. So please let us be patient with the delays that may come with it.

May Allah reward you for your patience and understanding, and May Allah reward and make easy the affairs of those who wish to travel seeking his pleasure.

بارك الله فيكم

Eid will be on the 10th of April, which means by the Will of Allah, we will have our final Taraweeh tonight, for those who have felt they have fell short this month, or from those who have strived, Allah has granted us an opportunity to stand another night from the Last 10 nights.

Seize this opportunity, and strive in standing in the night prayer, seeking Allahs forgiveness, and asking Allah to grant us Janaah tul Firdaus and protect us from the Fire.

Just as many have passed between last Ramadan and this Ramadan, many of us may not see the next Ramadan. So we should try our utmost best to strive in the little which is left of it.

May Allah make us from those who Allah has forgiven, and those who leave this month better than when we started. And be from those who continue and increase in righteous actions even when this month has passed.

بارك الله فيكم
