All About Jordan

Jordan Visa Information

Many visitors to Jordan can obtain a visa on arrival, while a smaller number of nationalities need to arrange one in advance. Visa rules, fees, and border procedures are set by the Jordanian government and can change, so this page gives you a clear overview and points you to the official sources for anything you need to confirm before you travel.

Visa Types and How They Are Issued

Jordan offers a few different ways to enter the country, depending on your nationality and how you are travelling:

• Visa on arrival — available to citizens of many countries directly at major entry points, including Queen Alia International Airport in Amman and most land and sea border crossings.
• E-visa — an online application you can complete before you travel, which can save time on arrival.
• Prior-approval visa — required for a number of nationalities, who must arrange entry clearance through a Jordanian embassy or consulate, or the relevant government e-service, before arrival.

Visa fees vary by entry type and duration. Because these amounts are set by the Jordanian government and are subject to change, we do not list specific prices here. Please check the official visa portal below for current fees.

Visa Requirements by Nationality

Whether you can get a visa on arrival, need an e-visa, or must obtain approval in advance depends on your nationality. Jordan's Ministry of Interior maintains the official, regularly updated list of restricted and non-restricted nationalities. Rather than reproducing a nationality list here, which can go out of date, we recommend checking your specific requirement directly on the official government page below before you finalise your travel plans.

Tour Groups and Visa Waivers

Jordan has, at times, offered visa fee waivers for travelers arriving through licensed tour operators, subject to conditions such as a minimum length of stay. Because these conditions can change, we recommend confirming current waiver terms directly with the official visa portal before you rely on them when planning your trip.

Border Crossings and Exit Fees

Jordan can be entered and exited by air, and at a number of land and sea border points. An exit service fee may apply at land and sea crossings. As with visa fees, exact amounts are set by the relevant authorities and can change, so please confirm current charges through the official sources below or with your border point directly.

The Wadi Araba Crossing

The Wadi Araba (Aqaba/Eilat) border crossing has, historically, had entry arrangements and eligibility conditions that differ from other Jordanian border points, particularly for certain nationalities and types of travel. If your itinerary involves entering or leaving Jordan through this crossing, we recommend confirming current requirements through the official sources below well ahead of your travel dates.
