Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Uzbek passport holders can get a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and other land borders. Have 40 JOD in cash for the single-entry fee — the visa counter does not accept cards. The visa is valid for 30 days and cannot be extended.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Original passport with at least 6 months validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Jordan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Jordan | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the visa-on-arrival counter. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or an invitation letter from your host. Officers rarely ask for it at the visa-on-arrival desk, but having it avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Have at least 500 JOD (or equivalent in USD) in cash or a recent bank statement. Immigration may ask to see it if you look underprepared. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in Jordanian Dinars — no credit cards, no foreign currency. ATMs are available after immigration, but you'll need cash before that. Exchange a small amount at the airport or bring JOD with you.
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 travel — you'll be denied entry otherwise.
