Entry and Visa Requirements
Any non-Arab visitor to Jordan, whether entering for
business or as a tourist, needs an entry visa. The fee
required for a visa, as well as the length of stay which
is granted, depends on the visitor’s nationality.
Although entrance visas are obtainable at the airport
for visitors arriving by airplane, those arriving by
land must get a visa prior to arrival. These are obtainable
from any Jordanian diplomatic mission abroad, where
they generally take a day to receive. Visas cannot be
obtained at Jordan’s land border crossings. Visas
obtained in Jordanian consulates are valid for 3-4 months
from the date of issue, and can be issued for multiple
entries. Tourist visas allow a stay of up to one month
initially. However, this period can easily be extended
for up to another two months. After that date you must
exit and re-enter the country, or undergo immigration
procedures. If your visa has not been renewed properly
by the time you leave Jordan you will have to pay a
fine at the border. If you plan to stay for more than
two weeks in Jordan, you will need to register at the
nearest police station.
The department follows up the implementation of consular
agreements between the kingdom and other countries.
