Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application eVisa required | You need a visa before traveling to Jordan. Apply online through the Jordan eServices portal at eservices.moi.gov.jo. Processing takes 2–5 business days; print the approval and carry it with your passport.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport 6 months validity required | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Jordan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for all arrivals | Immigration officers at Queen Alia International Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you are staying. Have a hotel confirmation email or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. A booking on your phone is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | You may be asked to show you have enough money for your stay. Carry a recent bank statement or at least 500 JOD in cash or card receipts. This is rarely checked but better to have it. | Recommended |
E-visa vs visa on arrival
Both options work for Cambodian passport holders. The e-visa saves you time at the airport — you skip the visa-on-arrival queue. Visa on arrival costs the same (40 JOD) but requires cash (Jordanian dinars) and can take longer. If you're arriving late at night, the e-visa is smoother.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Jordan, not from your departure date. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before you apply.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the e-visa online
Go to the Jordan Ministry of Interior e-services portal (eservices.moi.gov.jo). Fill in your details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee online (40 JOD for a single-entry tourist visa). Processing usually takes 2–5 business days. You'll receive the approved visa by email — print it or save a PDF on your phone.
2
Prepare your documents before departure
Print or save on your phone: the approved e-visa, your passport (valid 6+ months), return flight booking, and first-night hotel confirmation. Also grab travel insurance and an eSIM if you want them.
3
Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) in Amman
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control'. Join the queue for foreign passports. Hand over your passport and printed e-visa. The officer will check your documents, stamp your passport, and let you through. Keep your boarding pass handy — they may ask for it. The whole process usually takes 10–20 minutes.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, head to baggage claim. Then walk through customs (green channel if nothing to declare). You're in Jordan.

You'll need a passport valid for 6+ months, a return ticket, and cash to pay the fee. The queue can be longer than the e-visa line, so the e-visa is often faster.

Typically 2–5 business days. Apply at least a week before your trip to be safe. During peak season (spring/fall) it can take longer.
Yes, you can extend your tourist visa once for up to 30 additional days. Visit the Immigration Department in Amman (near the 7th Circle). The fee is about 20 JOD. You'll need your passport, a passport photo, and the extension application form.
If you're staying airside and not leaving the airport, you generally don't need a visa for transits under 12 hours. But if you plan to leave the airport or have a long layover, you'll need a tourist visa. Check with your airline for specific transit rules.
