According to an unofficial translation of the Yemeni Nationality Law, provided by the Embassy of the Republic of Yemen in Ottawa, a person

...having a Yemeni origin and applied for the nationality after 5 years of residence, and having a proof that his grand father had the nationality, and should not take any other nationality,

would be eligible for Yemeni citizenship subject to presidential decision (Embassy of the Republic of Yemen 5 June 1992, 1).

Published information on this subject is currently unavailable to the IRBDC in Ottawa.
