Socotra Visa Requirements

A practical guide to preparing documents, understanding Eagle Socotra’s assistance and checking the official visa process for your circumstances.

Plan the visa process step by step

Visa arrangements can depend on nationality, passport and travel circumstances. Eagle Socotra currently assists eligible travelers with the visa process it supports, while final requirements and decisions remain with the relevant authorities.

How Eagle Socotra currently assists

Eagle Socotra currently assists eligible travelers with the visa process, subject to approval by the relevant authorities.

For the process Eagle supports, the team currently requests:

  • A passport copy.
  • A flight-ticket copy.
  • A passport valid for at least six months.

The team follows up with the authorities and sends the electronic visa PDF when it is received.

For the visa process Eagle currently assists with, Eagle currently states a visa cost of USD 150 per person and estimates about 3–5 days, sometimes up to about one week.

The standard Tour price excludes the visa fee unless a custom quotation states otherwise.

Information to prepare

When requesting current planning guidance, be ready to provide:

  • Nationality and passport country.
  • Passport expiry date and exact name.
  • Preferred travel dates.
  • Current country of residence and likely route.
  • Any relevant dual-nationality details.

What remains subject to official approval

Official application channels and eligibility can vary by nationality, country of residence and consular jurisdiction. Check the current process with the authority responsible for your case before paying for dependent arrangements.

Only the relevant Yemen authorities can determine whether a visa or other permission is valid and whether an entry decision is favorable. Eagle Socotra cannot guarantee visa issuance or a favorable entry decision.

Do not travel on the basis of a screenshot, an expired permission or a document from an unverified source.

Confirm documents before departure

Check that every document remains valid for the complete journey, including transit points. Ask Eagle Socotra for the current operational inquiry steps, while independently confirming legal entry requirements with the competent authorities.
