No. There is no visa-on-arrival for Jordanian passport holders. You must obtain a visa from an embassy or consulate before you travel.
The main embassy is in Washington, D.C. (2334 S Street NW, Washington, DC 20008). There is also a consulate in New York. You can apply by mail or in person. Processing takes 2–4 weeks.
Visa fees vary — check with the embassy. Expect around $50–$100 for a single-entry tourist visa. Fees are subject to change.
Tourist visas are typically issued for 30 days. Extensions are possible but must be arranged with the Marshall Islands Immigration Office in Majuro before your visa expires.
Only if you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Jordan is not a yellow fever country, so you likely won't need it. But check the latest requirements before you go.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined, detained, or banned from re-entering. If you need more time, visit the Immigration Office in Majuro before your visa expires.
No. Tourist visas do not permit any form of employment. You would need a work permit sponsored by an employer in the Marshall Islands.
