You don’t have to deal with a thing. The visa is included in the price of every one of our tours, and we apply for it entirely for you. All we need from you is a copy of your passport.
The Socotra visa is a tourist visa valid for 30 days. It’s included in the price of every one of our tours and we apply for it entirely for you. All we need is a digital copy of your passport.
After booking, you send us a photo of your passport’s photo page, by WhatsApp or email.
We handle the whole application. There’s nothing more for you to do.
About a week beforehand we send you the visa as a digital document.
On arrival you’re handed your original visa. Just beyond it, Salem’s team and our local partners are already waiting for you at the terminal exit.
After landing, entry is straightforward. You show your digital visa, receive the original at the counter and head straight for the exit. From there, your adventure begins.
If, for personal or professional reasons, you’d rather not have a Yemeni entry stamp in your passport, that’s no problem. Just let us know in good time beforehand, and we’ll sort it out for you on the ground.
The Socotra visa is one thing. Because your route currently runs via Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, where you stay overnight, you also need a visa for Saudi Arabia. You apply for that yourself, easily online at visa.visitsaudi.com. You’ll find more on this on the flights page.
