Since the case of the Nigerian underwear bomber (who studied Arabic in Yemen), visa issue upon arrival at the airport was stopped and entry into Yemen became near impossible. Then they had this crazy devolution to change the regime but the regime didn't change and the corruption increased. Visas (tourist and work visas) are now starting to get easier as the restraints are loosened a little. However, you should still obtain an entry visa before arrival. If you enter on a tourist visa and you want to stay longer you can change your visa over to work or study, but the work visa seems much easier although it is more expensive.
