Filipino passport holders need a visa to enter Jordan. There is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Philippine citizens, so you must get a visa from a Jordanian embassy or consulate before you travel. Plan ahead — the process takes at least a couple of weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Jordanian visaYou cannot get this visa on arrival or online — you must visit a Jordanian embassy or consulate in advance. Apply at embassy/consulate | Philippine citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Jordan. Apply at the nearest Jordanian embassy or consulate; an eVisa is not available for Philippine passport holders. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport's expiry date — if it's less than 6 months away, renew it before applying for the visa. 6 months beyond stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended date of entry into Jordan. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesA blank page means a page with no stamps or markings — the border officer will stamp there. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank visa page for the Jordanian entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketImmigration may ask to see proof that you plan to leave Jordan. Proof of departure | Carry a printed or digital copy of your return or onward flight ticket showing departure from Jordan within the allowed stay period. | Required |
| Proof of fundsNot always asked, but having proof of funds helps avoid issues at entry. Sufficient for stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds (e.g., bank statements, credit cards) to cover your expenses during your stay in Jordan. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any arrival form before landing. Not required | Jordan does not require an arrival declaration form for Philippine passport holders. | Not required |
| eVisa applicationAny online eVisa site is not for you — you must go through the embassy. Not available | Philippine passport holders are not eligible for Jordan's eVisa program. Do not attempt an online eVisa application — use the embassy/consulate route instead. | Not required |
No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Philippine passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Jordan. If you fly without a visa, you'll be denied boarding or turned back at immigration. Get your visa before you book flights.
Apply early — processing can be slow
Embassy processing times vary. Start your application at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to avoid last-minute stress. Confirm the exact requirements with the embassy — they can change.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the Jordanian embassy or consulate
Find the nearest Jordanian embassy or consulate (e.g., in Manila or via a consulate in your region). Call or email to confirm exact requirements, fees, and whether you need to apply in person or can mail your application.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather your passport, photos, form, accommodation proof, flight itinerary, and bank statements. Make photocopies of everything — the embassy will likely keep copies and return originals.
3
Submit your application
Submit your completed application and documents at the embassy or consulate. Some embassies require an in-person appointment; others accept walk-ins. Pay the fee and get a receipt.
4
Wait for processing
Processing typically takes 5–10 working days, but can take longer. Check with the embassy for current timelines. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the visa.
5
Collect your passport with visa
Once approved, pick up your passport with the visa sticker. Verify the spelling of your name, dates, and validity before leaving the embassy.
