A Yemeni passport is a government document used by citizens of Yemen for international travel.[1] Yemeni passports are issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the Ministry of the Interior, and by some Yemeni consulates and embassies around the world.[a]
Yemeni passports are typically 48 pages long and have a dark blue cover inscribed with the Emblem of Yemen (and the words "Republic of Yemen" and "Passport" in English and Arabic). As Arabic is a right-to-left script, the passport pages read from right to left. The passport is valid for six years after the date of issue.
Before 1967, when southern Yemen was a British colony (Colony of Aden), British passports were given to travelers from there.
