Jordan Health Declaration

What Is the Jordan Health Declaration?
The Jordan Health Declaration is Jordan’s official pre-travel health form that many visitors are asked to complete before arrival. Introduced to streamline air and land entry checks and to replace ad-hoc paper health questionnaires used during earlier outbreaks, the digital declaration is hosted via the Visit Jordan portal and collects basic health screening details, recent travel history, and contact information so border health authorities can prioritise screening. The requirement is enforced by Jordanian border and public health authorities at airports and major land crossings.
You may complete the declaration at the official portal (https://www.visitjordan.gov.jo) or use DoVisa for guided completion with document checks. After you submit the online form you receive an electronic confirmation and a QR code by email — save this to your phone and print a copy if you prefer hardcopy backups. Airlines or land-border officers may require the QR at check-in or entry. Typical turnaround is immediate to a few hours depending on traffic, and you will get a downloadable confirmation to present to immigration or health staff.
The Jordan Health Declaration is a health screening registration — it is not a visa and does not replace entry permits such as the Jordan Pass or standard visit visa. It supports port-of-entry checks and public‑health surveillance; visa decisions remain with immigration officers at the border. Recent guidance from Jordanian authorities emphasises drone import permits and pre-entry health checks for certain longer stays; always check the Visit Jordan portal for the latest notices before travel.
For full entry rules see Jordan visa information and the official portal at Visit Jordan. When you’re ready, Apply for your Jordan Health Declaration now.
