What exact status does accumulated residence lead to?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the status that accumulated residence leads to.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Decree 47/1994 Arts. 19(a),(b) and 20 grant special/ordinary residence only for residence completed before the law came into force (1994); no forward path from temporary residence to another status is stated. Art. 22 text is already cited by the certified r2 answer and by p2 answers.

What qualifying residence period is required and when does the period begin?

The source does not require a fixed prior residence period for temporary residence; it defines it by not meeting the preceding categories.

Limits of the record
  • The captured source does not establish every route-specific condition requested by this rectangle.
  • Article 22
    Foreigners with temporary residence are those who do not meet the conditions provided for under the preceding two articles and the members of this category may be granted a residence permit for a maximum period of one year and this may be renewed.

Which types of residence count fully, partially or not at all where the official rules specify this?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm which types of residence count towards the qualifying period.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched the whole 1994 law (Arts 17-26) for which types of residence count toward temporary residence or any higher status: Articles 19-20 define special/ordinary residence by continuous residence before the law came into force; nothing states what counts for temporary-residence holders.

What absence/continuity rules affect accumulation of the qualifying residence period?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the absence and continuity rules for the qualifying period.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched Arts 9-26: the absence rules (Arts 25-26) apply only to the special and ordinary residence categories of Articles 19 and 20; the source is silent on absence/continuity for temporary residence.

What other major conditions apply, how is the status obtained, and what renewal, document-validity, retention or loss rules matter?

A foreigner must hold a residence permit and must leave Yemen when the residence period expires unless the Chairman of the Authority renews it. The Regulation sets the measures for residence permits and when to apply. A foreigner whose residence ends without renewal or a permit is fined 30 riyals per day, unless the Minister or his delegate exempts him.

  • The Executive Regulation that sets the application measures and timing is not among the captured sources.
