Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport, Aqaba, or the King Hussein Bridge.

| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date | Jordan enforces the 6-month passport validity rule strictly. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Carry a photocopy of the bio page as backup. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers at Queen Alia Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Show a printed or digital return ticket within your visa validity. A bus ticket to Israel or a flight to another country works too. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. The visa officer may ask for this during the visa-on-arrival process. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or card for visa fee and stay | Bring at least 40 JOD in cash for the visa fee (they do not accept credit cards at the visa counter). Have another 50–100 JOD per day for expenses — ATMs are widely available in Amman. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The 40 JOD visa fee must be paid in cash. No cards. ATMs are available after immigration, but it's easier to have the exact amount ready before you queue.
Visa on arrival is not extendable
You get 30 days max. If you need to stay longer, you must leave and re-enter. Overstaying can lead to fines and future entry problems.
