Visa on arrival is straightforward
You don't need to apply online or visit an embassy. Just show up at the airport with your passport, pay 40 JOD, and you're in. The whole process takes about 10–15 minutes at Queen Alia Airport.
Cash is king at smaller crossings
At land borders or smaller airports, card machines may not work. Always carry 40–50 JOD in cash (Jordanian dinars) to be safe. You can exchange USD or EUR at the airport.
