To enter Jordan, your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your date of arrival.
Citizens of a small number of countries may enter Jordan without a visa for short stays, including nationals of several neighbouring Arab states.
Most other travellers, including citizens of the United Kingdom, European Union countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, require a visa to enter Jordan. In many cases, this can be obtained either on arrival or in advance as an e-visa.
Visa on arrival is available to eligible travellers at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba (AQJ), and at certain land border crossings, including the Sheikh Hussein (Jordan River) crossing. Visas on arrival typically allow a stay of up to 30 days.
Visas on arrival are generally not issued at the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge crossing from the West Bank. Travellers entering Jordan via this crossing should arrange a visa in advance.
E-visas can be applied for online prior to travel. Fees vary depending on whether a single-entry, double-entry, or multiple-entry visa is requested. Travellers whose nationality is not eligible for visa on arrival or visa exemption should contact the nearest Jordanian embassy or consulate before travelling.
If you plan to visit Israel and the Palestinian Territories and then re-enter Jordan, you should obtain a multiple-entry visa in advance. Visas on arrival are not issued at the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge, and travellers returning via this crossing without a valid visa may be refused entry.
A single-entry visa on arrival for Jordan costs JD40 for most eligible travellers.
In addition, a departure tax of JD10 is charged at land border crossings when leaving the country; this fee does not apply to departures from airports, where the exit tax is already included in the price of airline tickets.
Single-entry visas issued on arrival are usually valid for stays of up to one month.
Visas obtained in advance generally have the following validity:
• Single-entry visas: valid for two months from the date of issue.
• Double-entry visas: valid for three months.
• Multiple-entry visas: typically valid for six months, with longer options issued in specific cases.
Transit passengers who continue their journey to a third country within 24 hours and remain in the airport transit area do not require a visa or pay any visa fees. Travellers who need to leave the airport during a lay-over must either be eligible for a visa on arrival or obtain a standard visitor visa in advance; Jordan does not issue a separate transit-only visa category.

E-visa applications are typically processed within four to five working days, though processing times may vary by nationality. Applications made through embassies or consulates may take longer, particularly for travellers requiring prior approval.
Jordan does not generally restrict entry for travellers whose passports contain an Israeli stamp, and in most cases you will be admitted without unusual checks. However, entry is never guaranteed if you hold such stamps, especially at land border crossings where your route becomes obvious, so it's wise to check with the nearest Jordanian embassy beforehand.
