Entry rules for Yemen passport holders
Yemeni citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Greece. Applications generally go through a Greece embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Greece immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
Greece is in the Schengen Area
Your stay in Greece counts against the same 90-day allowance as every other Schengen country, within a rolling 180-day period — the clock does not reset when you cross an internal border.

The Yemeni passport ranks #194 worldwide, opening 35 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (9 visa-free, 24 with a visa on arrival and 2 with an eTA). Greece is not among them — it is one of the 117 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.
The arrangement is reciprocal: Greek citizens traveling to Yemen face the same requirement (visa required).
Southern Europe is closed to spontaneous travel for Yemeni passport holders: none of its 9 destinations can be entered without an application first.
