Most nationalities need a visa to enter Jordan, but requirements and fees vary by passport, and visa policy can change — always confirm your specific requirement with Jordan's official government sources or your nearest Jordanian embassy before traveling, not from a blog post.
Where to Check Your Actual Requirement
Because visa policy is nationality-specific and does change, the reliable sources are Jordan's Ministry of Interior / official visa information channels, or your nearest Jordanian embassy or consulate. Check this early in your planning, not the week before you travel.
How the Jordan Pass Fits In
For most eligible travelers staying 3 or more nights, the Jordan Pass waives the visa fee entirely, in addition to bundling entry to 40+ sites. It must be purchased online before you arrive to get this benefit — see our full Jordan Pass guide for the three pricing tiers.
What You'll Generally Need to Apply
A passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates is a common requirement across many visa types worldwide, including Jordan's — confirm the exact validity window for your nationality through official channels.
Border Crossings Are Different
If you're entering Jordan overland from Israel or the Palestinian Territories rather than by air, visa arrangements and fees can differ from airport entry — this is worth confirming separately if your itinerary includes a land border crossing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a visa on arrival?
This depends on your nationality and entry point. Confirm through official Jordanian government sources before assuming visa-on-arrival applies to you.
Does booking with a tour operator affect my visa requirement?
Not typically — visa requirements are based on nationality, not how you book your trip. We're happy to help point you to the right official resources once you've booked with us.
