Visa-free entry for Aqaba visitors
If you're flying directly into Aqaba Airport or entering via the Aqaba land border, you get a free visa on arrival valid for 30 days — but only if you stay within the Aqaba Special Economic Zone. Leave the zone (e.g., to Petra or Wadi Rum) and you'll need to pay the standard 40 JOD visa fee at the border.
Jordan Pass: skip the visa fee
If you're planning to visit Petra, Jerash, or other major sites, buy the Jordan Pass online before you travel. It covers your entry fee to over 40 attractions AND waives the visa on arrival fee if you stay at least 3 nights. Cost: 70–80 JOD depending on the pass. You still get the visa on arrival, but you don't pay the 40 JOD. Show your Jordan Pass QR code at the visa counter.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM)
After deplaning, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' counters before passport control. There are separate queues for visa-on-arrival and pre-arranged visas. Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation ready.
2
Pay the visa fee
At the counter, pay 40 JOD (cash or card). You'll receive a receipt. Keep it with your passport.
3
Get your visa sticker
The officer will stamp a visa sticker into your passport. Check the validity dates before leaving the counter.
4
Proceed to passport control
Join the main passport control queue. Hand over your passport with the visa sticker. You may be asked for your return ticket or hotel address. Answer clearly.
5
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, head to baggage claim, then customs. Green channel if you have nothing to declare.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, but only at certain crossings. The King Hussein Bridge (Allenby) between Jordan and the West Bank does not issue visas on arrival — you need a pre-arranged visa. The Sheikh Hussein Bridge and the Aqaba border with Israel do issue visas on arrival. Check with your crossing before you travel.
The standard visa on arrival is valid for 30 days from the date of issue. It's a single-entry visa — if you leave Jordan, you'll need a new visa to re-enter.
Yes, you can extend it once for up to 30 additional days. Visit the Jordanian Ministry of Interior's Residency and Borders Department in Amman. The fee is about 20 JOD. You must apply before your current visa expires.
If you arrive at Aqaba Airport or enter via the Aqaba land border, the visa is free if you stay within the ASEZ. If you plan to travel outside the zone (e.g., to Petra or Amman), you'll need to pay the standard 40 JOD visa fee at the border.
If you're transiting and not leaving the airport, you don't need a visa. But if you want to leave the airport during a layover (e.g., in Amman), you'll need a visa on arrival. The same 40 JOD fee applies.
No, the fee must be paid in Jordanian dinars (JOD) or by credit card. Some counters may accept US dollars at a poor exchange rate, but it's better to have dinars. ATMs are available after immigration, but you'll need cash for the visa first — so exchange at the airport before queuing.
Overstaying costs 1.5 JOD per day for the first 30 days, then 3 JOD per day after that. You'll need to pay at the immigration office before leaving. Overstays over 90 days can lead to a ban. Don't risk it — extend or leave on time.
