Jordanian passport holders can get a visa on arrival when entering Macau. It's valid for stays up to 30 days. As of 2026, just join the immigration queue and pay the fee — no advance application needed.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Jordanian passport holders can get a visa on arrival at Macau International Airport. The visa costs 100 MOP (approx. $12 USD) and is valid for up to 30 days. Have the exact fee in cash ready — the counter does not give change for large bills. | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 90 days beyond your intended departure date from Macau. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Outbound travel proof | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket out of Macau. A flight booking to a third country or back to Jordan works. Without one, you may be refused entry and sent back on the next flight. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation | Have a printed or digital hotel reservation for your entire stay. If staying with a friend, carry their Macau ID copy and a signed invitation letter. Officers rarely ask, but when they do, they expect a clear address. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | Carry at least 5,000 MOP (approx. $620 USD) in cash or a credit card with a visible limit. Immigration may ask how you plan to fund your stay — a bank statement from the last month works as backup. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash — MOP or HKD. No credit cards, no mobile payments. Have the exact amount ready to speed things up.
No e-visa available
There is no e-visa or advance visa for Jordanian passport holders. The visa on arrival is the only option. Don't waste time looking for an online application.
