Entry papers:
you need a visa and an acknowledgement letter from the Inland security.
Ports of entry:
you have a choice of two airports (Aden or Seiyun). If you opt to fly in, the common transit points are Egypt, Dubai, Saudi and Djibouti (for those coming from Africa). You can also drive in from Oman, Dubai or Saudi (cheaper, but exhaustive). If you can afford it, I would suggest going Saudi for Umrah and then driving in ($80 approx) / flying in ($330 approx one way).
Living legally:
Residency permits available for students.
Cost of living:
Single brothers live rent-free in the masjid and get 3 meals a day; bread and beans for breakfast and dinner, and rice for lunch. If you opt for this option, your main expenses would be buying books, stationery and hygiene products. For this I would estimate a monthly budget of $100.
For families (average monthly expenses):
- Rent ($100)
- furniture $1000 - $1500 (fridge, washing machine, cooker, AC, mattresses, etc. You can buy new or second hand)
- Water, gas & electric bills ($50)
- Food varies (if you eat at home, don't eat much meat, chicken & fish...I would say $250)
- Other expenses $50-$100 (petrol)

Life for single brothers is usually the same whichever centre you choose, but if you can't speak Arabic I would suggest starting off at options 1, 2, 3 or 5, particularly 2 & 3 if you prefer somewhere more quiet, with less people.
NOTE:
All classes are free of charge, but you need a Tazkiyah (recommendation) to be accepted as a student at the above centres.
