How do I pay for a course?Courses must be paid in full one month before they begin. You will pay in dollars or pounds sterling, into our International Bank of Yemen account.

How do I get a visa at Sana'a airport?A bus will take you from the aeroplane to the terminal. Walk to the left and you will see the office for visas and also a money exchange. The officer will put a visa into your passport and then you move over to the immigration line where your passport will be stamped. Walk through the doors on the left to collect your luggage. Sana'a airport is very small and everyone is very helpful. |
