Yemen Passport Ranking – Visa Free Access to 31 Countries
The Yemen passport ranks 103rd globally in 2025, offering visa-free access to only 31 destinations, making it one of the world's most restrictive travel documents. Yemeni citizens face significant limitations in international mobility, with most countries requiring advance visa applications for entry. The passport's ranking has declined notably from 78th place in 2006, reflecting the country's ongoing political instability and security concerns. Despite limited visa-free travel advantages, Yemeni passport holders can still access select countries primarily in the Middle East and certain African nations without prior visa arrangements.
