Jordan Visa Policy

You can realize your planned trip to Jordan by obtaining a Jordan visa. Foreign nationals can apply to Jordan short-term visas for temporary reasons (tourism, business, cultural, and other short-term purposes).
In most countries, Jordan official embassies and consulates don’t process long-term visas, visa applicants should apply for short-term tourist visas for traveling to Jordan, and they only apply to residence permits when they have already arrived in Jordan. This procedure can vary depending on your country of residence, nationality, and the embassy's policy you apply for a visa.

The "Jordan Pass" is a pre-purchased package that gives free access to about 40 popular museums/sites throughout the country, mainly Petra, Jerash, Wadi Rum, Amman Citadel, and more. This card is more convenient for those who plan to stay in Jordan for more than 3 nights because if you stay more than 3 nights, the traveler who owns this card is exempt from the visa fee.

All packages include the following:

• Free visits to more than 40 sights of Jordan;
• If a person is allowed to obtain a visa at the border, payment of visa fee;
• Valid for use within 12 months of purchase (but only 2 weeks after use)

After purchasing Jordan Pass, you need to show it in a printed or mobile version at the airport, as well as at the entrance to the museum/attraction. The border officers look through the pass and scan a QR code on it with the relevant device.

When leaving Jordan the border officers calculate the number of nights, which a traveler remained in the country. If you were in Jordan for less than 3 nights, it is necessary to pay a visa fee in the amount of 40 JOD. On the contrary, if you stayed in Jordan for more than 3 nights, you are exempt from the visa fee.
