In view of the serious security situation in Yemen, MFA recommends that Singaporeans defer all non-essential travel to Yemen for the time being.

Singaporeans who are already in Yemen are advised to avoid unnecessary travel within the country, in particular to avoid the areas where demonstrations are occurring. They should be on high alert and monitor the news closely. They should also take the necessary precautions for their personal safety.
