Jordan Tourist Visa

Q: What is the Jordan Tourist Visa?

The Jordan Tourist Visa is an electronic visitor visa or visa‑on‑arrival used for short tourism visits. It is issued via the Ministry of Interior e‑Visa portal or at many ports of entry; approved applicants receive an electronic confirmation by email to present on arrival. See the official e‑Visa portal at MOI e‑Visa .

Q: Who needs the Jordan Tourist Visa?

Most foreign nationals require a visa to enter Jordan. Some travellers can obtain a visa on arrival; others should apply in advance through the Ministry of Interior e‑Visa page. Citizens of Jordan, holders of diplomatic passports, crew on duty, and transit passengers staying airside are exempt. Check Jordan visa information for guidance and the MOI portal to start an application.

Q: What happens if I arrive without a valid visa?

If you arrive without a valid visa you may be required to complete an application at the port of entry, face significant delays, or be refused boarding by your airline at departure. Land crossings can charge a departure tax and immigration may deny entry—apply in advance where possible or use the on‑arrival option if eligible. Start your application now .

Q: Can I edit or correct my application after submission?

Yes. Minor corrections (typos in name or passport details) can often be corrected via the MOI e‑services account or by contacting support; DoVisa also assists with edits when possible. If significant data is wrong you may need to reapply — keep passport data exact to avoid delays. Official MOI guidance is available on the e‑Visa portal.

Q: Is a departure Jordan Tourist Visa also required?

No — there is no separate outbound 'departure visa'. The visa is an entry permit issued for your arrival and does not constitute a separate departure document. For land border crossings, some departure taxes apply (for example, 10 JOD at certain land borders). See MOI and GOV.UK guidance for land crossing rules.

Q: Which airports and seaports accept this document?

Present your confirmation to immigration at Jordan’s main international entry points. Key airports and crossings include Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), Marka International Airport, and King Hussein/Aqaba entry points — as well as major land crossings (Sheikh Hussein, Wadi Araba/Al‑Aqaba and the Northern crossing). Check your arrival point and the Ministry of Interior portal for up‑to‑date entry point details. U.S. Embassy — travel .

Q: Can I apply from my mobile phone?

Yes — the Ministry of Interior e‑Visa portal supports mobile submissions and DoVisa’s application flow is mobile‑friendly. Have clear passport photos and your travel details ready; upload proofs from your device and save the emailed confirmation to your phone for immigration checks.

Q: How far in advance should I apply?

Apply as early as you like, but for predictable processing allow at least 72 hours before departure; if you need faster handling choose an expedited service when available. For nationals who can obtain a visa on arrival, pre‑applying reduces risk of delays. Start your application now .

Q: What is the step-by-step application process?

1) Create an account on the MOI e‑Visa portal or use DoVisa. 2) Enter passport details, travel dates and accommodation. 3) Upload a passport photo and supporting documents. 4) Submit and pay fees. 5) Receive an email/PDF confirmation to present at airline check‑in and immigration. Use the MOI portal for direct applications: MOI e‑Visa .

Q: Do children need their own Jordan Tourist Visa?

Yes. Each traveller — including infants and minors — must hold their own passport and, where required, their own visa. Guardians should apply on behalf of children and ensure travel documents match what is submitted.

What Is the Jordan Tourist Visa?

The Jordan Tourist Visa is the electronic visitor visa many travelers use to enter the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan for short stays. Issued through the Kingdom’s e‑Visa channels and available at many ports of entry as a visa on arrival for eligible nationalities, the Jordan Tourist Visa is managed by the Ministry of Interior's e‑visa services and coordinated with immigration at airports and land crossings. The Ministry of Interior offers an e‑Visa portal for pre-arrival applications to speed border clearance; for travelers who cannot pre-apply, a visa on arrival remains available at most international airports.

You can apply directly at the official e‑Visa portal (eservices.moi.gov.jo — Ministry of Interior) or use DoVisa for guided completion, document checks and faster processing options. Upon approval you receive an electronic confirmation sent to your email and an entry record to present to immigration at arrival. Many travelers receive the visa record as an email/PDF confirmation to print or show on a mobile device; airlines sometimes review e‑visa confirmation at check‑in.

The Jordan Tourist Visa is an entry visa — it authorizes you to seek admission at the border but is not a residency permit. Recent improvements to the Kingdom’s e‑Services have expanded online e‑Visa options so more nationalities can apply before travel, while the traditional airport visa (paid on arrival) remains in place for many visitors. The visa does not replace any separate permits required for work or long‑term stays, and entry remains at the discretion of Jordanian immigration officers.

Key facts: passport valid for 6 months is required; Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) is the main international entry point. For full entry guidance see Jordan visa information and the official e‑Visa portal at eservices.moi.gov.jo. Apply for your Jordan Tourist Visa now.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival and have at least one blank page for an entry stamp. See the Ministry of Interior e‑Visa guidance at eservices.moi.gov.jo.

Customs & Prohibited Items

Jordanian customs prohibit or restrict specific imports. Certain goods (narcotics, items contrary to public morals, some chemical materials and protected archaeological objects) are banned or require permits — check official lists at Jordan Customs — restrictions.

Drones & Special Permits

If you plan to bring a drone you must apply for approval in advance — GOV.UK and Jordanian authorities note a permit is required and approvals can take time. See guidance at the Civil Aviation authority pages referenced by official portals.

Local Rules — Entry Checks & Departure Tax

Be prepared for immigration checks on arrival; a departure tax of 10 JOD applies at some land border crossings. Report stays longer than local thresholds as required by authorities. See GOV.UK's country guidance for details: GOV.UK — Jordan entry requirements.

Long Stays — Health Screening

Longer stays may require health screening; for example, the UK travel advice notes that a HIV test may be required for stays over 30 days. Check official embassy and Ministry pages before travel.

Travel Tips for Jordan Visitors

Jordan is a compact country with ancient sites, desert landscapes and Red Sea access. Most international flights arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) outside Amman. Overland crossings to Israel/Palestine operate at named land borders; check opening hours in advance.

Currency: Jordanian Dinar (JOD). Major tourist suppliers and hotels commonly accept USD in tourist areas, but carry some JOD for smaller purchases.
Language: Arabic is the official language; English is widely used in hotels, tourist sites and transport.
Time zone: GMT+2 (Eastern European Time).
Best time to visit: March–May and September–November for milder temperatures and comfortable desert sightseeing.
Transport: Taxis and shared services connect AMM to Amman; prebooked transfers are recommended for Petra and the Dead Sea.
Customs & drones: Apply for drone permits before travel and declare restricted items; archaeological material is tightly controlled.
Safety: Follow local advice on regional security and avoid restricted border areas. Enrol in your embassy’s travel‑alert service for updates.
Bargaining: Haggling is common in souks — agree the price before purchase.
