Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements

A passport with a validity of at least six months and a visa are required for entry into Jordan. Jordanian immigration officials issue single entry visas to U.S. citizens for a fee upon arrival at Amman’s Queen Alia International Airport, the northern Sheikh Hussein crossing at the Israeli border, the Eilat/Wadi Araba crossing near Aqaba and most other border crossings except the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge.

• The Jordanian visa issued upon arrival currently costs 40 JD (approximately 56 USD) for a single entry with one-month validity. Jordan will also issue a multi-entry five-year visa upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport for 114 JOD (approximately 160 USD).
• Prior to travel, U.S. citizens may apply at a Jordanian Embassy for a dual-entry visa with three months validity for 60 JOD (approximately 85 USD) or a multi-entry visa with 60 months validity for 120 JOD (approximately 170 USD).
• For travelers entering Jordan at the port of Aqaba, visit the  Ministry of Tourism web site  for special information on visas.

Visa Validity:

• Visas upon arrival for U.S. citizens are typically valid for a 30-day stay. Upon request you may obtain a five-year multi-entry visa at Queen Alia International Airport.
• Foreigners who wish to stay longer than the time limit given to them by Jordanian immigration officials upon entry must register at a Jordanian police station before expiration of that time limit. Travelers are generally given a single extension of 60 days.
• Travelers who fail to properly register themselves incur a fine of 1.5 JD (approximately 2 USD) per day beyond their permitted length of stay.

For more information regarding travel to the West Bank and Jerusalem, please see the  country information  for Israel, the West Bank and Gaza,

HIV/AIDS entry restrictions exist for visitors to and foreign residents of Jordan. Travelers may be denied entry at ports of entry, including land border crossings, if they are known to have HIV. This policy, however, is rarely enforced and Jordanian authorities do not screen for HIV/AIDS at the border. Jordan does not permit residency for foreign nationals with HIV/AIDS. Travelers seeking to extend their stay beyond the initial timeframe are legally required to have an HIV/AIDS test performed at a government medical facility as part of a general medical screening. Those who fail to submit to the test or who test positive for HIV are denied residency and may be deported. For further information, please see the  Embassy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan  website before you travel.

Travelers should check the  Country Information  and  Travel Advisories  for all countries they plan to visit during their travel to the region. Border crossing requirements may change, and borders may be closed during holidays and periods of heightened security. For further information, travelers may contact the  Embassy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan  at 3504 International Drive NW, Washington, DC 20008, or by telephone at (202) 966-2861 or (202) 966-2664. Jordan also maintains honorary consulates in Detroit, MI, Chicago, IL, and San Francisco, CA.

Safety and Security

Terrorism: Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to more effectively target crowds. Frequently, their aim is unprotected or vulnerable targets, such as:

• High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
• Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
• Places of worship
• Shopping malls and markets
• Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights)

The threat of terrorism remains high in Jordan. Transnational and indigenous terrorist groups have demonstrated the capability to plan and implement attacks in Jordan. Violent extremist groups in Syria and Iraq, including the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham (ISIS), and al-Qa’ida, directly or indirectly have conducted or supported attacks in Jordan and continue to plot against local security forces, U.S. and Western interests and “soft” targets, such as high-profile public events, hotels, places of worship, restaurants, schools, and malls. Jordan’s prominent role in the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS and its shared borders with Iraq and Syria increase the potential for future terrorist incidents.

• Travelers to Jordan should be aware that violent extremist groups have carried out terrorist activities against U.S. and Government of Jordan targets in Jordan.
• Jordanian security services have conducted multiple operations to disrupt terrorist plots and operations.
• In November 2019, a lone terrorist stabbed eight people, including four foreigners, at the Jerash tourist site. The perpetrator was immediately arrested and charged with committing a terrorist act.
•  U.S. government personnel must have permission for official travel on Highway 10 east of the town of Ruwayshid toward the Iraq border, due to Jordanian military activity, known smuggling routes, and a lack of emergency facilities.
• U.S. government employees are not permitted to visit most border areas or any refugee camps on personal travel, and the Embassy advises U.S. citizens to avoid both locations.
• On occasion, the U.S. Embassy temporarily makes other areas within Jordan off limits to its staff based on the security situation. This information will be shared with the U.S. citizen community through our website and through a message to STEP enrollees.

In general, terrorists often do not distinguish between U.S. government personnel and private U.S. citizens. Terrorists may target areas frequented by Westerners, such as tourist sites, hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, liquor stores, shopping malls, transportation hubs, places of worship, expatriate residential areas, and schools. In light of these security concerns, U.S. citizens should maintain a high level of vigilance:

• be aware of your surroundings
• take appropriate steps to increase your security awareness
• be unpredictable in your movements by varying your times and routes
• maintain a low profile
• avoid contact with any suspicious or unfamiliar objects and immediately report the presence of such objects to local authorities

U.S. government personnel overseas have been advised to take the same precautions.

For more information, see our Terrorism page.

Crime:  Statistically, petty crime is the most common form of crime that U.S. citizens and other Western nationals experience in Jordan, especially at tourist sites and in crowded areas. Pickpockets, purse snatchers, and opportunistic thieves are known to target foreigners in the narrow and crowded streets of the older parts of Amman’s city center. Travelers should be alert in these areas and in all tourist locations in Jordan. Jordanian police have warned the public to exercise vigilance when leaving banks or ATMs, to reduce likelihood of targeting by thieves.

Thefts of vehicles, assaults, robbery, and attempted residential break-ins have also been reported. Take care not to display valuables in your car or on your person and be sure to lock car doors and windows.

Violent crime does occur, but U.S. citizens or other Westerners are rarely targeted. In the past, the Embassy has received reports of firearms being discharged at vehicles being driven by Westerners. Celebratory gunfire is common, especially during major festivals, sporting events, or the biannual release of high school test scores.

Do not buy counterfeit or pirated goods. Not only are the pirated copies illegal in the United States, if you purchase them, you will also be breaking local law. Most DVDs, CDs, and software available for sale in Jordan are pirated.

Demonstrations  occur frequently. They may take place in response to political or economic issues, on politically significant holidays, and during international events. 

• Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly become violent. 
• Avoid areas around protests and demonstrations. 
• Check local media for updates and traffic advisories.

In general, demonstrations remain peaceful. However, some have turned violent, even when intended to be peaceful, leading security officials to intervene. Travelers should avoid all protests and large gatherings of people. Many demonstrations occur on Thursday evenings near government buildings and on Fridays near mosques following mid-day prayers. You should exercise special sensitivity and caution when visiting or traveling near mosques and religious sites during holy days and Fridays. Demonstrations and other forms of unrest have occurred on public university campuses in Jordan. Some acts of violence on university campuses have involved the use of firearms. Although generally peaceful, anti-U.S. demonstrations have also taken place in front of the U.S. Embassy.

International Financial Scams:  See the  Department of State  and the  FBI  pages for information.

Victims of Crime: Report crimes to the local police at 911. U.S. citizen victims of sexual assault or domestic violence are encouraged to contact 911 and ask to be put in touch with the Family Protection Directorate, part of the national police, which is staffed 24/7 and has some English-speaking personnel. Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime. U.S. citizen victims of crime may contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance at (6) 590-6950.

See our webpage on help for U.S. victims of crime overseas .

• Help you find appropriate medical care
• Assist you in reporting a crime to the police
• Contact relatives or friends with your written consent
• Provide general information regarding the victim’s role during the local investigation and following its conclusion
• Provide a list of local attorneys
• Provide our information on victim’s compensation programs in the U.S.
• Provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution
• Help you find accommodation and arrange flights home
• Replace a stolen or lost passport

Domestic Violence: U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence should call 911 and ask to speak to the Family Protection Directorate which is tasked with assisting and investigating issues of domestic violence. U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence are encouraged to contact the Embassy for assistance.

Flash Flooding:  Certain areas of Jordan, including Petra, the Dead Sea, and other tourist areas, are prone to heavy rain and flash flooding, especially from October-March. Roads and bridges may become impassable and the Jordanian government may close tourist areas completely. The first rains of the season in particular often cause flooding throughout Amman and other cities in Jordan. It is important to watch the weather reports and heed local recommendations. The Jordanian government may send out Arabic language text messages to all cell phones registered in Jordan when inclement weather, such as heavy rain, occurs.

Tribal Violence:  Clashes between feuding tribes, clans, or families periodically erupt without notice and sometimes involve violence, including the use of firearms. In some cases, Jordanian security services are slow to respond or may opt to let the violence subside before intervening.

Syria and Iraq Borders:  U.S. citizens should avoid the border areas with Syria and Iraq. All U.S. government personnel on official travel must receive prior permission to visit any area within 10 km of the Jordan-Syria border, except the tourist site of Umm Qais or the city of Irbid. U.S. government personnel must also have permission for official travel on Highway 10 east of the town of Ruwayshid toward the Iraq border, or for official visits to refugee camps anywhere in Jordan. Personal travel by U.S. government employees to the border areas or refugee camps is not permitted. Police and security officials have arrested weapon and drug smugglers, as well as foreign fighters attempting to enter Syria to fight in the country’s ongoing conflict. In the past, fighting in Syria has occurred close to Syria’s border with Jordan, and some munitions have landed within Jordan’s borders. On June 21, 2016, ISIS conducted a car bombing attack against a Jordanian military facility in the country’s northeast, along the border with Syria, killing seven Jordanian soldiers. The Department of State warns against all travel into Syria and Iraq. Please see the  Travel Advisories  and  Country Information  for Syria and Iraq for further information.

Tourism: The tourism industry is unevenly regulated, and safety inspections for equipment and facilities do not commonly occur. Hazardous areas/activities are not always identified with appropriate signage, and staff may not be trained or certified either by the host government or by recognized authorities in the field. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is widely available throughout the country. Outside of a major metropolitan center, it may take more time for first responders and medical professionals to stabilize a patient and provide life-saving assistance. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance. See our webpage for more  information on insurance providers for overseas coverage.

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities, prior to practicing or operating a business.

The Jordanian constitution provides for freedom of speech and of the press with some restrictions. Insulting the King or members of the Royal Family may lead to detainment or imprisonment. Additionally, the Jordanian government considers proselytizing to Muslims (including the distribution of religious material) illegal, and anyone undertaking these activities is subject to prosecution, imprisonment, and deportation. Please see the information below on Islam as the state religion of Jordan.

Jordanian courts may impose criminal penalties, including imprisonment, for alleged infractions that in the United States would be resolved in civil courts. The U.S. Embassy is aware of several cases involving business or financial disputes that resulted in lengthy pre-trial detention and imprisonment under local financial crimes laws.

It is illegal to use, possess and/or distribute drugs, including marijuana and its derivatives, in Jordan. Jordan has strict drug laws and enforces them readily. Drug possession/use is one of the five main offenses that falls under the umbrella of the state security court and is subject to a different set of criminal procedures than other offenses. Accused offenders can be detained for up to two weeks without charges. In addition, after being referred to the state security public prosecutor, the accused offender can be detained for an additional 15 days renewable for further investigation, as long as the extension does not exceed a total of two months. This delay can result in the Embassy not being notified about the detainment because an official arrest has not taken place.

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on crimes against minors abroad and the Department of Justice website.

Arrest Notification: If you are a U.S citizen and are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. See our webpage for further information.

Family Circumstances:  The U.S. Embassy is aware of cases where U.S. citizens have been subject to domestic violence and abandonment by their spouses, including incidents of restrictions of movement through travel holds, loss of custody of children or forced marriage. Women and children should pay particular attention to any warning signs, including husbands or other family members withholding money or travel documents after arrival in Jordan. Cases of domestic violence should be reported to the Family Protection Department. Travelers should also be aware that U.S. laws cannot protect U.S. citizens when they are outside of the United States.

Travel Holds:  Under Jordanian law, any adult male may prevent his minor children from leaving Jordan by simply registering a hold on their travel with the Jordanian authorities. Adults may place travel holds on their spouses pursuant to a court order from a Jordanian court. Adult male relatives (uncles, brothers, grandfathers) may also petition Jordanian courts for a travel hold on their unmarried adult female relatives. Immigration officials may prevent minor children traveling with their mothers from departing Jordan without the father’s affirmative consent. This is possible even if the child or woman holds only U.S. nationality. Jordanian authorities consider disputes surrounding travel holds as private family matters, and the Embassy is extremely limited in its ability to intervene. Travel holds may only be removed by the person who placed them or by a court. Please see Jordan’s International Parental Child Abduction (IPCA) page for further information.

Male Military Requirement:  U.S. citizen males who also hold Jordanian citizenship may be subject to laws that impose military service obligations on Jordanians. Jordanian men under age 40 are required to register for service in the Jordanian military. Those subject to registration may be prevented from leaving Jordan until exit permission is obtained from appropriate Jordanian authorities. This permission is often granted to U.S. citizens, but may take some time to obtain and may be limited to a single exit.

Dual Citizenship:  The Government of Jordan considers U.S.-Jordanian dual nationals to be Jordanian citizens. Local authorities typically do not notify the U.S. Embassy of arrests, detentions, or accidents involving dual nationals. For this reason, dual nationals in particular should carry copies of their U.S. passports with them at all times so that evidence of their identity and U.S. citizenship is readily available for local authorities.

For additional information, see our information on  Dual Nationality .

Customs:  Jordanian customs authorities may enforce strict regulations concerning temporary importation into or export from Jordan of items such as drugs, firearms, poisons, chemicals, explosives, pornographic materials, communications equipment, drones and antiquities, among other items. You should contact the  Embassy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan  in Washington, D.C., or one of the Jordanian consulates in the United States, if you seek specific information regarding customs requirements.

Please also refer to our  Customs Information  page for additional information.

Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drones):  Tourists’ use of smaller drones is becoming increasingly popular. However, drones are illegal for personal use in Jordan, and persons seeking to bring any drone into Jordan must first obtain pre-authorization and approval from authorities before entry and use.

Faith-Based Travelers: See the following webpages for details:

• Faith-Based Travel Information
• International Religious Freedom Report – see country reports
• Human Rights Report – see country reports
• Hajj Fact Sheet for Travelers
• Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad

Islam is the state religion of Jordan. The Jordanian government generally does not interfere in religious practices. Some religious groups, however, cannot obtain legal recognition of their denominations. On official documents such as birth and wedding certificates, the Government of Jordan only allows affiliation with legally recognized faiths: Islam, certain Christian denominations, and Judaism. Not listing an affiliated faith or listing a faith outside those recognized by the government is generally not permitted. Activities such as proselytizing or encouraging conversion to any faith other than Islam are prohibited. U.S. citizens have been detained, arrested, denied re-entry and/or deported for discussing or trying to engage Jordanians in discussions about religion, even if such discussions also involve other activities, such as humanitarian aid. Jordanian officials may not warn individuals before a detention, arrest, denial of entry or deportation; any warnings received should be taken extremely seriously.

LGBTI Travelers: There are no legal restrictions on same-sex sexual relations or the organization of LGBTI events in Jordan. However, laws against adultery or breaches of modesty may be used against LGBTI travelers. Public displays of affection between individuals in general, and especially of the same sex are not considered culturally acceptable. Foreigners exhibiting such behavior or expressing themselves outside of traditional gender norms in terms of dress or appearance may face greater risk of official and societal harassment and/or be targets of violence. Gay and lesbian Jordanians frequently hide their sexuality, even from family members. Family members who discover that a relative is LGBTI may target them for “honor” crimes.

See our LGBTI Travel Information page and section 6 of our Human Rights report for further details.

Travelers Who Require Accessibility Assistance . While in Jordan, individuals with disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation very different from what is found in the United States .  Outside of a few upscale hotels in the capital, individuals with disabilities will find almost no accessible accommodations. Similarly, there are very few accessible restaurants, shops, or historical sites. Transportation is not accessible and sidewalks and crosswalks, even in the main cities, are not accessible. Handicap-accessible toilets and bathrooms, even in major hospitals, are generally not available. However, at least one local NGO ( accessiblejordan.com ) has created a website which reports accessibility of tourist sites and other locations in Jordan. Travelers who rely on special accessibility requirements or assistance are encouraged to research on-line before planning travel to Jordan.

Students: See our Students Abroad page and FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers: Women visiting and residing in Jordan have reported incidents of sexual harassment, stalking, indecent exposure, and assault. The Embassy continues to receive sporadic reports regarding incidents of harassment and sexual assaults involving taxis and taxi drivers. Some have included physical assaults. To reduce the likelihood of being victimized, women should take precautions such as avoiding travel to unfamiliar areas at night, traveling alone, and riding in the front seat of a taxi. Additionally, dress modestly when in public. Carrying a cell phone at all times is recommended. Immediately report any incidents to the Family Protection Department by calling 911. See our travel tips for Women Travelers .

Modern medical care and medicines are generally available in Jordan’s main cities but not always in outlying areas. Most acute and chronic medical conditions can be treated. When called, ambulances are often slow to arrive and personnel generally have only a basic level of training. Most hospitals in Jordan, especially in Amman, are privately owned. Doctors and hospitals often expect immediate cash payment or a high deposit for services.

Seasonal dust storms that envelop the country for days or weeks each spring may significantly aggravate respiratory conditions such as asthma or sinus problems.

For emergency services in Jordan, dial  911 .

Ambulance services are not widely available and training and availability of emergency responders may be below U.S. standards.

We do not pay medical bills.  Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas. Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.

Medical Insurance:  Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See  our webpage  for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage. Visit the  U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  for more information on type of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas. We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation.

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety: While in Jordan, U.S. citizens may encounter road conditions and driving habits that differ significantly from those in the United States. The information below concerning Jordan is provided for general reference only and may not be completely accurate in a particular location or circumstance.

U.S. Embassy Amman has advised its employees to avoid driving at night outside the Amman metropolitan area due to road conditions, poorly lighted rural roads, livestock crossings, and erratic behavior by other drivers. 

It is typical for drivers in Jordan not to signal for turns or lane changes. Drivers tend to be aggressive and inattentive to surroundings, and cars operate very closely together on highways. Jordanian roads are particularly treacherous during the rainy season, which runs from October to March. Heavy snowfall can occur in winter months (December to February), making many roads – even major highways – impassable for several days. Driving in Amman also is hazardous in the summer months of June to September when Jordan experiences an influx of visitors from other countries in the region. Highway traffic is heavy around the Muslim holidays when many Jordanian expatriates return to Jordan for family visits.

The Desert Highway outside Aqaba, the Dead Sea Highway from Amman, and the King’s Highway between Petra and Madaba, all popular tourist routes, are dangerous because they are narrow, winding, steep, and crowded with trucks. Try to avoid using these roads at night. When driving in both urban and rural areas, motorists should beware of unmarked speed bumps and livestock, including camels, sheep, and goats. Collisions with livestock are common.

Muwaqqar road (also known as Highway 40) which runs from the Desert Highway east to Al-Azraq city is dangerous due to poor road conditions, poor shoulders, and a high volume of heavy truck traffic. This road is the scene of frequent vehicular accidents, including fatal collisions. This road leads to several popular tourist sites, the “Desert Castles,” but motorists should use this road with caution.    

As a result of these factors, traffic accidents are frequent and continue to be the largest cause of unnatural death in Jordan.

There have been reported attacks on various tourist buses on the highway between Amman and Aqaba, known as the Desert Highway, due to ongoing business or tribal disputes. Attackers, who are believed to be private citizens, throw objects often resulting in broken windshields and interrupted trips.

Licensed drivers must carry local third-party insurance with sufficient coverage for accidents resulting in injury or death. Drivers who are involved in an accident should remain at the scene and immediately call the police and emergency personnel in case injuries have occurred. Police frequently hold the driver’s license or passport in order to prevent the driver from fleeing. Identification documents can be recovered at the police station. It is common for foreign drivers to be blamed for accidents, regardless of the actual circumstances of the incident. Following an accident, the other party may file criminal or civil charges to seek damages. U.S. citizen drivers have occasionally been detained by police as a result. The U.S. Embassy recommends that U.S. citizen drivers in a traffic accident retain  private legal counsel .

Traffic Laws: Drivers must have a valid Jordanian license or a valid foreign license with an International Driving Permit to drive in Jordan. U.S. visitors who intend to drive should obtain an International Driving Permit before travel to Jordan. Temporary visitors may use their valid American driver's licenses only to rent “green” plated rental cars.

• Drivers and passengers are required to wear seatbelts.
• All cars must have a fire extinguisher and warning triangle in the vehicle.
• Child car seats are not required by law.
• Fines for speeding can exceed 140 USD. Speed cameras are installed on many roads in Jordan.
• Talking on a cell phone while driving is prohibited. If stopped by police, drivers may face a fine.

Police may pull over speeding drivers, as well as those believed to be driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Public Transportation: Jordan has abundant taxi and ride-share services. Please see the Crime section for more information on sexual harassment and assault involving taxi drivers, as well as safety tips when using public or private transportation. Visitors should make arrangements for taxis via their hotel and request that drivers not pick up additional passengers en route to their destinations. On-call taxi services, such as Uber and Careem, also operate in Jordan. Licensed on-call taxi drivers will have government-issued license sticker on the upper corner of the vehicle windshield on the passenger seat side. Some on-call taxi drivers operate without a license and are subject to possible traffic violations. Mass transportation options, are not recommended and U.S. personnel at Embassy Amman are not authorized to use public buses due to security and safety concerns. Jordanian security authorities often establish checkpoints, especially on roads leading to popular tourist destinations, where drivers are expected to stop and present their identity documents. All drivers should stop when directed to do so and comply with the instructions provided to them by the authorities.

Emergencies should be referred to the Civil Defense Department by dialing 911.

See our Road Safety page for more information. Visit the website of  Jordan’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities . For information on driving regulations, please contact the  Embassy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan  at 3504 International Drive NW, Washington, DC 20008, by telephone at (202) 966-2664.

Aviation Safety Oversight: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the government of Jordan’s Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Jordan’s air carrier operations. Further information may be found on the FAA’s safety assessment page .

Due to ongoing military activity throughout Syria, the FAA has issued guidance prohibiting U.S. air carriers from flight operations in Syrian airspace, and cautioning those carriers concerning operations in neighboring airspaces. Further information may be found on the FAA's Prohibitions, Restrictions, and Notices .

Maritime Travel: Mariners planning travel to Jordan should also check for U.S. maritime advisories and alerts . Information may also be posted to the U.S. Coast Guard homeport website , and the NGA broadcast warnings .

Visa for Jordan

What is needed and where to process it.

Get a visa for Jordan It is really simple: as we will see, the citizens of the vast majority of countries do not have to prove any prerequisite, and obtaining them can be immediate. It is a clear example of the tourist vocation of this country, which wants to show itself as an open and welcoming place for foreign travelers. On this page we tell you how to get a visa for Jordan and where to get it.

Visa requirements for jordan.

All travelers need a visa to enter Jordan , without exception. But the good news is that citizens of almost all countries can get it without having to carry out previous or difficult procedures. That is, they do not need to go to the Jordanian embassy in their country and fill out forms to make the formal request.

All you need to do is pay the visa fees for Jordan, either on arrival or online, within travel packages offered by the country itself (see “Jordan Pass”, below).

Cost and validity of the visa for Jordan

At the time of writing (September 2022), the visa for Jordan It costs 40 Jordanian dinars (JD), although that price may vary according to nationality. It should also be borne in mind that if you leave the country by a route other than air, the local authorities will claim another payment of 10 JD.

On the other hand, if you arrive in Jordan through Aqaba (declared Special Economic Zone or ASEZA), either by ferry from Egypt or on an international flight, you will not need to pay any fees for your visa.

The validity of a tourist visa in Jordan is 30 days, although an extension of up to three months can be requested, usually at a similar price of 40 JD.

The Jordan Pass, a solution also for the Jordan visa

There is an interesting option for foreign tourists: buy the Jordan Pass. This tourist pass offers benefits for the entrance to monuments, but what is more important: the fees of the Visa to Jordan are included.

These are the three options available, with their corresponding prices (as of September 2022):

• Jordan Wanderer: 70 JD. Includes the fees of the visa for Jordan , 1 day visit to Petra, free entrance to about 40 Jordanian monuments and downloadable tourist information
• Jordan Explorer: 75 JD. Includes the fees of the visa for Jordan , 2 consecutive days of visit to Petra, free entry to about 40 Jordanian monuments and downloadable tourist information
• Jordan Expert: 80 JD. Includes the fees of the visa for Jordan , 3 consecutive days of visit to Petra, free entry to about 40 Jordanian monuments and downloadable tourist information

In all cases, it is essential to buy the Jordan Pass before entering the country and prove a minimum stay of 4 nights in Jordan.

Countries whose citizens do need prior authorization

As we said, only citizens of some countries must apply for a prior request to obtain a visa in Jordan . They are as follows:

• Asia: Afghanistan, Iran, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Iraq, Yemen, Bangladesh
• Africa: Ethiopia, Eritrea, Central African Republic, Angola, Uganda, Botswana, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Chad, Tanzania, Togo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Sudan, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Cameroon, Congo, Liberia, Mali, Madagascar, Comoros, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Sudan, Libya
• Americas: Belize, Cuba

Where you can get a Jordan visa

You can get a Jordan visa at Amman’s Queen Alia International Airport, which is the great gateway to the country. It is not necessary to fill out any specific form, but simply to pay the indicated fees.

If you are arriving by road, visas for Jordan they are only issued at the Sheikh Hussein Bridge, the main border crossing with Israel. In contrast, visas are not issued at the other two border crossings with Israel (neither Wadi Araba nor King Hussein Bridge).

As an alternative to this, remember that the Jordan Pass can be obtained online.

On the other hand, if you want to process an extension of the Jordanian visa beyond 30 days, you must go to certain police stations in Amman or Aqaba, or request that an agent carry out this procedure for you.

How to get the most out of the Jordan Pass

Jun 23, 2022 • 6 min read

The Jordan Pass lets you enjoy the staggering beauty of Petra, as well as many other sites around the country © ZouZou / Shutterstock

The treasures of Jordan have beguiled visitors for centuries, from the cliff-carved city of Petra – unknown to Westerners for centuries – to the otherworldly rust-red sands of Wadi Rum.

Access to Jordan’s most popular tourist attractions, plus a whole host of other visit-worthy sites around the country, is now more affordable for travelers thanks to this program. Read on to discover why the Jordan Pass is the right decision for most visitors.

What is the Jordan Pass?

Offered by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the Jordan Pass  package combines a tourist visa with admission to about 40 tourist sites across the country for a discounted price. The price starts at JD70 (about US$98), with three options available depending on whether you’d like to visit Petra for one, two or three days.

Is getting a Jordan Pass worth it?

The Jordan Pass is best suited to travelers who are:

• traveling independently (not with a tour group)
• eligible for a visa on arrival
• planning to visit Petra
• planning to spend at least three nights in Jordan 

The three-night minimum is a requirement, so if you will only be in Jordan for a day (on a side trip from Israel, for example), you will not be able to take advantage of the savings. Because the cost of the pass is based on entrance to Petra, it doesn’t make sense to buy it if you aren’t planning to spend time in the ancient city. (For the record: we think any visitor to the country shouldn’t miss this extraordinary place!)

The value of the Jordan Pass in terms of the visa fee is dependent on your nationality. Travelers from more than 100 countries are eligible for a visa on arrival . If you fit into this category, you are traveling independently and you purchase the Jordan Pass online before you arrive in the country, your visa fee of JD40 (about US$56) is waived. That alone makes the Jordan Pass a good deal, even if Petra is the only site you visit among the dozens included with the pass.

If you’re traveling with a tour operator, you are already eligible for waived fees, so the Jordan Pass is probably not worth it. Ask your operator whether your visa fees and site entry fees are included in your tour.

Standard entry fees for Petra are JD50 (about US$70) for one day, JD55 for two days or JD60 for a three-day visit. The multiple price points for the Jordan Pass align with the additional entrance fees to Petra.

Here are some tips for making the most of the Jordan Pass.

If you have only a few days in Jordan…

Hit the highlights. Plan at least one full day to cover a good amount of ground in Petra , then spend a night or two immersed in Wadi Rum , another Unesco-listed site included with the Jordan Pass. 

While one day in Petra might be enough for the casual visitor, hikers and history buffs will want to allow more time to  to get off the typical tourist track . Choose the three-day Jordan Pass, and you’ll have enough time to visit the High Place of Sacrifice , make a one-day pilgrimage to Jebel Haroun (one of the best viewpoints of the region, and a site that’s said to the the burial place of Aaron, brother of Moses) and hike the back way to the Monastery from Little Petra , in addition to spending more time at the more popular Petra spots such as the Treasury and Royal Tombs .

After you’ve had your fill of Petra, enjoy the slow pace and starry nights in Wadi Rum. Hike and camp with local Bedouin or ride 4x4s through the deserts, exploring the craggy rock faces and windswept sand dunes.

If you have a week in Jordan… 

Take a road trip to take in some Jordan Pass attractions. Start in Jerash , one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world, located less than an hour’s drive from Amman. On-site signage is limited, so hire a guide to show you around and share stories of this historic, picturesque place. 

Ajloun Castle , another attraction included with the Jordan Pass, is about 30 minutes from Jerash, an easy add-on if you’ve got some time to spare before driving south to Amman. 

Once in Amman , stop by the restored Roman Theatre , then visit the nearby Citadel for panoramic views (and sunset if you time it right) from atop the capital’s highest hill. Overnight it in the capital, then set out early the next day for Petra, allowing time for a slight detour to Karak Castle , one of the largest Crusader castles in the region and another fee-free attraction for Jordan Pass holders. 

From Karak, continue on to Petra and Wadi Rum following the tips above, and afterward add a day in Aqaba for snorkeling plus two additional Jordan Pass attractions: Aqaba Fort and Aqaba Museum .

If you’re interested in religious sites…

Be sure to include Madaba on your itinerary. It’s an easy day trip from Amman or a nice stop on the way to the Dead Sea or southern Jordan. About 30 minutes from the Queen Alia International Airport, Madaba is also a great place to spend your first day or night when you arrive in Jordan. 

Both the Madaba Museum and the Madaba Archaeological Park are included in the Jordan Pass, and you’ll also find Byzantine-era mosaics (including one of the oldest mosaic fragments in Jordan), archaeological exhibits, a preserved section of Roman road, the Church of the Virgin Mary, Ottoman buildings and more here. While in town, a visit to St George’s Church (not included in the Jordan Pass but just JD1 to enter) to see the impressive floor mosaic – and the oldest known map of the Holy Land – is a must. 

If you want to get off the beaten track…

In addition to the big hitters, the Jordan Pass includes access to a number of interesting sites farther from the well-trodden tourist trail.

Off the beaten track in northern Jordan , you’ll find several intriguing archaeological sites such as Umm Al Jimal (the best-preserved Byzantine town in the region, where excavations are currently underway), the Greco-Roman ruins of Gadara in Umm Qais , and Pella , another lesser-known archaeological site near the town of Taqabat Fahl. 

If you’re staying in Amman, take a day trip to the  Iraq Al Amir Cooperative , where you can enjoy lunch and handicraft workshops before catching the sunset at the archaeological site. Entrance to the site is included with the Jordan Pass, with activities at the women’s cooperative available to book separately.

If you’re traveling King’s Highway while road-tripping through Jordan, consider a stop at Umm Ar-Rasas (a Unesco-listed site where you’ll find gorgeous stone arches and very few, if any, other visitors) and Shobak Castle , the oldest Crusader fortress in the country.

One of the best ways to get around Jordan and get the most out of the Jordan Pass is to travel by foot and hike some of the Jordan Trail . Many of the sites included in the Jordan Pass are found along the Jordan Trail, such as Umm Qais, Pella, Jerash, Ajloun Castle, Iraq Al Amir, Karak Castle, Petra and Wadi Rum, among others. The Jordan Pass expires two weeks after first use; since you won’t have time to cover the full Jordan Trail, we recommend choosing a section suited to your interests.

Border Crossing

Visitors with a valid passport may obtain a visa at any Jordanian embassy, consulate, or legation abroad. You can also obtain a visa upon arrival at Amman’s Queen Alia International Airport or at any other border crossing. Visa fees are 40 JDs ($56) for single entry valid for one month but easily extended at the nearest police station. For a six months, non-extendable visa; travelers must pay 120 JDs ($170) for multiple entries, to be paid in local currency. Luckily, few formalities need to be observed when departing Jordan: A departure tax of 10 JDs ($15) is paid at any border crossings except the airports.

Coming to Jordan by road from Syria, you can cross into Jaber or Ramtha.

Jaber is 80km away from Amman and is most commonly used by visitors, while Ramtha is 90km away and is mainly for cargo. Both borders are open 24/7 throughout the year.

Operating Hours:

Saturday–Friday: 08:00hrs – 18:00hrs

There are three border crossings between Jordan and Israel.

The Allenby/King Hussein Bridge, 57km away from Amman, is located in the southern Jordan Valley and is open Sun–Thurs 08:00hrs – 21:00hrs, and Fri-Sat 08:00hrs – 12:00hrs.

PLEASE NOTE:

Visas must be arranged before hand and cannot be obtained at the border. Additionally, private cars and tour buses cannot cross international borders – travelers must change vehicles upon crossing or use the other two border crossings.

Sheikh Hussein crossing /Northern Border is 90km away from Amman. It is located in the north, close to Lake Tiberias (Sea of Galilee), 

Sunday - Thursday: 08:30hrs - 19:30hrs

Friday - Saturday: 10:00 - 18:00hrs

Most nationalities can obtain visas at the border; prior permits are not needed except for restricted nationalities.

Wadi Araba Crossing/South Border, located in the south, 324km away from Amman, connecting the two Red Sea resorts of Eilat and Aqaba.

 Sunday–Thursday: 07:30hrs – 21:00hrs

 Friday – Saturday: 09:00hrs – 21:00hrs.

As of 1st of January 2016, entry visas will no longer be issued at the Wadi Araba Border Crossing. The only exceptions are Israeli tour groups and others carrying proper entry documentation; entering Jordan for tourism purposes. Moreover, Israeli tourists and those carrying proper entry documents, who have purchased the 90JOD entrance ticket to the Petra Archeological Site, will be exempt from the obligatory 24 hour stay in Jordan under the following conditions:

So that visas and clearances can be issued smoothly in accordance with laws and procedures, all tour groups must submit a travel manifest and other relevant  documents  to the Tourism and Marketing Directorate of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority at a minimum of 24 hour prior to the group’s arrival to the country. Local tour operators must submit the necessary insurances; guaranteeing that all members of the tourism group will depart through the Wadi Araba Border Crossing. All member of the original submitted manifest are present upon departure; permissions for departure will not be granted to groups in which all the original members  are not present. No visa shall be issued for other nationalities through the Wadi Araba Crossing and entrance will only be granted to those who have obtained an entry visa to Jordan through Jordanian Embassies abroad prior to their arrival at the border crossing.

Note* Wadi Araba Crossing closes on Islamic New Year day and Yom Kippur.

Hours and regulations are subject to change. For up-to-date details and information on which nationalities cannot obtain visas, contact a travel agent in Jordan.

Visitors can travel to Jordan by road from Iraq through Al-Karamah Border Crossing, which is 331km away from Amman and is open 24/7 throughout the year.

 Saturday–Friday: 08:00hrs – 17:00hrs

Saudi Arabia: - There are three border crossings with Saudi Arabia from the east: - Umari Border Crossing: 155km away from Amman and open 24/7 throughout the year. - Mudawara Border Crossing: 322km away from Amman and open 24/7 throughout the year. - Durra Border Crossing: located in  southern Jordan , 349km away from Amman and open 24/7 throughout the year.

Apply for an e-Visa for Jordan

✅ Tip: Take advantage of the Jordan Pass

When planning your trip to Jordan, remember to include the Jordan Pass in your budget. This tourist pass includes your e-Visa and access to the country's main tourist sites, such as Petra, Jerash and Wadi Rum. By purchasing the Jordan Pass online before your visit, your visa formalities will be simplified and your stay in the country will be made even more enjoyable and economical.

Tips to maximise your chances of obtaining a Jordanian e-Visa

• Apply for your e-Visa in advance: We recommend that you start preparing your e-Visa application for Jordan at least two weeks before your planned date of travel. This will give you enough time to gather all the required documents and avoid delays caused by technical problems or errors in the application form.
• Check your personal details carefully: Make sure that all the details entered on the application form are correct and match the information on your current passport. Even a small error can result in a visa refusal or problems when boarding or arriving in Jordan.
• Follow the instructions concerning the documents to be attached: Make sure you comply with the technical specifications for digital copies of your documents, such as file size and image format. Illegible documents can delay the processing of your application and potentially lead to your e-visa being refused.

How To Obtain A Visa On Arrival In Jordan

Simple guide: visa on arrival in jordan.

Jordan divides the word into restricted and non-restricted nations . If you’re traveling on a passport from a restricted country, you will need to obtain a visa in advance. If you are traveling from a non-restricted country, you can generally obtain a visa upon arrival at any port of entry.

Let me begin my stating that obtaining a visa on arrival in Jordan is not the most budget-conscious move if you are a tourist and plan to see key sights during your time in the Hashemite Kingdom.

That’s because Jordan bundles visas into a tourist package it calls Jordan Pass. Specifically, a Jordan Pass waives the visa fee if you stay minimum of three nights nights (four days) in Jordan (two nights only if entering and exiting via Wadi Araba linking Aqaba, Jordan and Eilat, Israel). A Jordan Pass includes single-entry access to over 40 attractions (full list here ) including popular points like Petra, Jerash, and Wadi Rum and starts at 70JOD for a three-day pass (you can pay 5-10 JOD more for additional entries to sites like Petra). More details here .

The visa alone is 40JOD whether you pay online in advance. Considering entry to Petra is 50JOD, it really makes sense to arrange a Jordan Pass in advance if you are staying three nights and touring.

You may read online that visas on arrival are not available at Wadi Araba or restricted at some of the more remote border crossings with Saudi Arabia or Iraq. From all I have been told by people I trust on the ground, a visa on arrival is available at any port of entry . You do not have to take my word for it and can apply for an electronic visa in advance here, but I find it very unlikely that you would be denied entry at any port provided you have a passport from the non-restricted country list.

Tip: Wadi Araba is a visa-free zone, meaning if you enter via this port, stay at least two nights ,and depart via this port, no visa is necessary if you travel with a passport from a non-restricted country.

But while you can obtain an electronic visa in advance and proceed straight to passport control, I prefer to buy mine on arrival. Why? Because you receive a cool sticker in your passport. Perhaps that does not really appeal to you, but but it certainly does to me and I love the collection of colorful postage-stamped sized visa payment stickers I have collected in my passport over the years.

When arriving at Queen Alia International Airport, simply follow the signs for a visa.

At the front of the line is a window where you can pay for your visa via credit card (or cash) and will receive the sticker. Then proceed through passport control and baggage claim and you will soon be on your way to one of the most magical countries on earth.

Jordan makes it easy for most nationalities to obtain a visa on arrival. While the Jordan Pass makes sense for most foreign tourists, I still love the old-fashioned visa stickers that Jordan uses for those who purchase a visa on arrival. For that reason alone, I will continue to arrange my visas in this manner ( like in Turkey ).

Why I Prioritize Flying Royal Jordanian Out Of Amman

Review: The St. Regis Amman

21 comments.

I got the electronic Jordin pass prior to my upcoming visit. I didn’t know or even think about not getting the stamp but to me it’s not that big of a deal. I assume there’s not much of a line at passport control this time of the year?

My latest trip was in March. I’ve also visited in July and in November. Never experienced lines.

any hotels you’d recommend in amman (for good tourist location)? i’m trying to decide between grand hyatt and marriott but open to others …

When it comes to cruise passengers entering Port Aqaba. There has been instances where cruise ships have not been able to obtain visas on arrival for South Africans who are eligible at any Port of entry. Apparently the Immigration authorities were closed. Now, there is a question of passengers to obtain there visitor visa by applying at the Embassy in Pretoria South Africa, in a hurry, before they sail, as a precaution of previous I cident. We cannot apply online. Cruise visas are not that easy as entering per flight to a country.

That’s an interesting data point. Thanks for pointing this out.

It’s improved a lot since I went, admittedly many years ago. We arrived in the early hours and queued and when we got to the counter were told that the visa had to be paid for in cash, local currency. Unfortunately there was no money changer open in Arrivals at that time of night. What to do? The officer said there was an Exchange open in the Departures area and to ask Security to let me through. So I found the door, sure enough security let me through – but only me, so I had to leave my wife and month old baby. Changed the money, Security let me back into Arrivals (fortunately) and we got the visa!

Jordan pass it’s not Visa, you must bye Visa on airport, 40 kod, for 100$ in airport you get 61 kod, in Amman 100$ it’s 71 jod. You bye Visa very simply.

I don’t understand what you mean. A visa is waived if purchasing the Jordan pass, unless you don’t stay the required three nights. Then you have to pay for a visa when leaving.

My experience from the day arrived at Amman Airport I thought it’s a paradise till 10 months stay at Al-Azraq Project Royal Jordanian Air Force Mirage 2000 back in year 1981-82. Due to Project’s Importance I had less s chance to move around. But Zarqa & Amman I had chance to visit. The Jordaians are so loving and Caring. I got my Vehicle Driving Licence also. On Project Completion I have to come back to my native Country

How do I apply for a Jordan visa?am a Nigerian and also based in Nigeria

l am from australia and am with a tour company when l get to Jordan. Am l better arranging my visa from here in Australia or is it easy enought to get your visa when you arrive in Jordan

Very easy when you arrive, but sounds like you will want a Jordan Pass if you are coming all the way from Australia.

I’ll be using a lot of information from your Jordan posts – thanks! But ‘quick and easy’ is NOT correct. I am here midday. And have my Jordan Pass in hand. There are at least 100 people in front of me in this line. As far as I can see, there are only two visa desks open. Flew in on GF in J thanks to Aeroplan, so I inquired about ‘fast track’. Told because I have the Jordan Pass, I am not eligible.

Not slamming you, but ‘quick and easy’ is disingenuous.

Hi All! I just landed in Jordan and I got the Jpass but I wanted the cool postage stamp. So I paid for for the visa and after I got a printout similar to what my friends got who applied for the e-visa. The gentleman processing the visa told me that they don’t do they postage stamp. Bummer but good to know and don’t wast you’re $56 like I did.

Hi landing in Aquba from Manchester UK, then boarding cruise Tui ship 3/4 hours, do I need a visa?

Check with your ship operator.

Thank you for your reply, but the reply is not understood, before I board the cruise ship I will go through passport and visa checks at the airport.

I am planning to go to Petra in about a year. It will be my first time traveling to Jordan from USA. Is getting an on arrival easy? What paperwork do I need? I am scared of getting denied and having to return home

Visa on arrival is easy. I will always take this approach.

Can I pay cash for the visa on arrival? All currencies eg USD/GBP or only JOD?

An Honest Jordan Pass Review – Is it Worth Buying?

By: Author Sophie Pearce

Posted on Last updated: January 18, 2022

Categories JORDAN

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for details.

If you’re heading to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, more than likely you will require a visa to enter the country as a requirement.

But, did you know that as well as the tourist visa on arrival, the country has the Jordan Pass?

Not only does this pass include your visa to enter Jordan, but it’s also a ticket that includes entry to some of the main attractions in the country. Even Petra, which is one of the most expensive UNESCO sites in the world!

In this detailed post, I’ll go through a full Jordan Pass review and whether it’s worth buying one when you visit Jordan. 

Thinking of renting a car? Click here to see my detailed post with driving tips!

What is the Jordan Pass? 

The Jordan Pass is a discount programme that is provided by the Jordan Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

It’s a ticket that combines a tourist visa with FREE entry to over 40 tourist sites and attractions across the country. 

This includes the likes of Petra, Amman Citadel, Jerash, Wadi Rum and so much more!

It’s only available if you plan to spend over 3 nights in Jordan and there are a couple of options available for you depending on your type of trip.

The Jordan Pass comes as a PDF document that you can print off and/or keep on your phone. 

On the document will be your personal details and a QR code that is scanned on arrival to Jordan and at all the attractions. It’s important to have a few copies with you so that you can use the card at all times!

Jordan tourist entry visa vs the Jordan Pass 

So, what’s the difference between the Jordan Pass and a normal Jordan tourist visa? Well, mostly it’s the amount of money you’ll be paying for it. 

A tourist visa on arrival in Jordan will cost you around 40JOD (£45/$56USD). But, the Jordan Pass will naturally cost you much more than that as it also includes entry fees to attractions. 

The Jordan Pass prices start from £80/$106 – £91/$113 depending on how many days you want to spend in Petra. 

It’s good to note that your tourist visa on arrival for Jordan will not include any extra benefits like entrance fees. So, you’ll be paying out of your own pocket. 

How much is the Jordan Pass? 

This all depends on what type of pass you want to buy and how long you’re planning to spend in the country. 

There are 3 Jordan Pass options;

• Jordan Wanderer – Price: 70 JOD (£80/$98USD), 1 day entry for Petra
• Jordan Explorer – Price: 75 JOD (£85/$105USD), 2 consecutive days entry for Petra
• Jordan Expert – Price: 80 JOD (£91/$112USD), 3 consecutive days entry for Petra

So, you should probably decide what sort of pass would be right for your needs. Personally, I went for the Jordan Expert which included 3 days in Petra.

As I was planning on spending 10 days in Jordan, this was the best option for me as I knew I wanted to do lots of hiking in and around the complex.

But, if you’re only going to spend 3/4 days in Jordan, then I would buy the Jordan Wanderer .

Most people tend to buy the Jordan Explorer which includes 2 days in Petra. 

I mean, it’s only $7 dollars extra to have one more day in Petra added on to a pass as a just in case . If you were going to buy an extra day’s entry to Petra at the site, this would cost you $127!

What does the Jordan Pass include?

All of the Jordan Pass options above include;

• Free one time entry to over 40 attractions in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. This includes things like Amman Citadel, Petra, Jerash, Ajloun Castle, Umm Qays, Qasr Al-Azraq, Wadi Rum etc. 
• Waiving of your tourist entry visa fees if you are eligible for a visa on arrival in Jordan. As long as you stay over 3 consecutive nights in the country!
• You can use it for over 12 months following your date of purchase. But, once you have scanned it at the airport, it will automatically expire after 2 weeks
• Up to 30 days stay in Jordan with the Jordan Pass (but the included attraction entry fees are only valid for 2 weeks)
• A FREE travel guide that gives you important information on travelling around, attractions, tips etc.

It’s good to note here that if you spend less than 3 nights in Jordan , you’ll be charged the 40JOD visa entry fee on exit

What it doesn’t include

• Petra by night – You will still need to spend 17JOD (£19/$23) on your ticket for Petra at night
• Wadi Rum jeep fees – these will be separate. You only get your permit fee included. I would recommend booking your jeep tours in advance (although I didn’t)
• Swimming in the Dead Sea – But, this is free anyway if you find the right spot along the coast. You’ll get this included with your hotel rate or you can pay a hotel to visit as well.
• Wadi Mujib – this is a completely separate attraction and will cost you 13JOD (£14/$18)

Who can buy the Jordan Pass? 

Anyone who is eligible for a visa on arrival in Jordan and is planning to spend over 3 nights (4 days) in the country can buy the Jordan Pass. This applies to over 137 countries at the moment!

It definitely makes sense for independent travellers who are arriving in Jordan or couples that are travelling independently of a tour. Sometimes, tours companies include your visa and entry fees.

For me, I was travelling solo, so it definitely made the most sense for my trip! But, it’s not the most ideal option for many travellers.

Here’s who the Jordan Pass is not ideal for;

• If you’re from South Africa, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan or the Vatican City – you don’t need to pay a visa fee to enter Jordan. So, a pass isn’t required.
• If you’re from an Arabic country or have Arabic nationality, you will get local discounts on entrance fees. 
• There are some countries that are banned from buying the Jordan Pass at this time. Always be sure to check.
• Children under 12 do not need to buy a pass as they get free entry to attractions as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

Can you buy the Jordan Pass at the airport?

No, you must buy the Jordan Pass in advance of travel and the purchasing of it online is the thing that tourists complain most about!

Here is the official link to purchase one – https://www.jordanpass.jo/ .

The checkout process with card payments can be a little bit of an issue with errors and processing. So, if you’re buying your pass last minute, this can be a little stressful. 

There are 3 ‘speeds’ you can choose from these are Standard Processing  (3 Business Days), Rush Processing  (maximum of 2 Business Days), Super Rush Processing  (1 Business Day). Obviously, the speedier you want your visa the more it will cost.

My personal advice would be to purchase the Jordan Pass at least one week before you plan to visit Jordan. 

This way you can ensure you sort out any purchasing problems and you don’t miss out on getting it for your trip. It’s a real money saver!

The pass is valid for 12 months after your purchase it, so it’s really not a big deal if you purchase it well in advance. 

Helpful steps for buying the Jordan Pass 

• Click this link – https://www.jordanpass.jo/ . to enter the Jordan Pass Website
• Then click on the ‘Buy Now’ button on the top right hand corner
• You’ll need need to put in your details, like your name, email address, telephone number, what ticket you would like (drop down menu) and then the number of tickets you’d like.
• Proceed to payment and enter your payment details. (tip – be careful, don’t click ‘pay now’ too many times as you can be double charged). 
• Review your application and make sure all your details are correct. This is important. Make sure your name on the pass is identical to your passport! 
• Submit your application and then you’re done! Now, just wait for your pass to arrive.

How does the Jordan Pass work?

So, once you’ve sent off your application for the pass, you should receive your pass via email within 3 business days as a standard. But, if you’ve spent more money for a ‘speedier’ service you’ll get it quicker.

You’ll receive your pass as a zip file in your email. Once you’ve opened the file, you’ll see 3 documents there.

One is your Jordan Pass PDF, one is a mobile-friendly version of your Jordan Pass (just the QR code) and you’ll also receive a free travel guide/map of the country as well.

Once you get the PDF and mobile-friendly version, I would recommend saving the PDF to your phone and taking a screenshot of them as well. Just in case you cannot connect to WiFi while in Amman at the airport. 

You don’t need to print out a physical copy of the pass, having it on your phone will work when you scan into the airport and attractions. But, if you’re worried about your phone dying while you’re in Jordan, I would say it’s best to print out a couple of copies to keep with you. 

When you reach the airport, you’ll be able to fly past the normal visa on arrival queues by entering the Jordan Pass queue. 

Then whenever you arrive at an attraction in Jordan, you can present your Jordan Pass at the kiosk. 

You’ll receive a special ticket for the attraction that won’t cost you anything! Or, the security at the entry gates for the attractions will scan your QR code on your ticket. It’s really easy to use and worked well for me!

Is the Jordan Pass worth it?

If you are one of the qualifying countries that can purchase a visa on arrival, you’re travelling alone or independently from a tour group and you’re planning on spending more than 3 nights in Jordan – I think it’s totally worth buying the Jordan Pass!

I’ll help you out and do some of the math for you;

If you bought a tourist visa on arrival for 40JOD (£45/$56USD), then you added on a day entry to Petra which is 90 JOD (£103/$127 USD) that alone would cost you over 130JOD (£150/$183).

If you compare that to the Jordan Wanderer pass which waives your tourist entry fee and includes one-day entry to Petra which is only 70JOD (£80/$98USD). You’ve already made a massive saving of over 60JOD (£68/$84) already, without any of the other attractions yet! 

That’s why I decided to buy the Jordan Explorer pass for 80JOD (£91/$112USD) which got me 3 days in Petra for only 40JOD (£45/$56USD) minus the visa fees. 

This already saved me over 230JOD on Petra tickets (£263/$324) not to mention I went to the Amman Citadel, Amman amphitheatre, Jerash, Wadi Rum with it too.! So, I saved hundreds of pounds by purchasing it. 

Plus, there are many other benefits of having the Jordan Pass, other than just saving money;

• You don’t have to keep getting cash out from the ATM for attractions
• You can skip the visa lines at Amman Airport 
• It saves a lot of time!

My experience using it in Jordan

To me, the Jordan Pass was a no-brainer. I had a lot of time in Jordan (10 days) and I knew that Petra was at the top of my to-do list! 

So, rather than rush it, I decided to buy the 3 days in Petra pass so that I could take my time there to explore and do as many hikes as possible. 

I bought my pass around 5 days before I entered Jordan. I was a little concerned as I had read many horror stories about visas not coming through in time and many tourists being overcharged on credit cards. But, my payment went through fine. I actually got my visa within 2 business days which was a bonus. 

The arrival in Amman airport was a breeze and I felt pretty smug skipping past all the visa on arrival queues by heading to the Jordan Pass queue. I was the only one there! 

Amman was definitely a learning phase for me with the Jordan Pass though. I made my first mistake by paying for the Amman Amphitheatre early in the morning, even though this was included in my Jordan Pass.

Maybe I was just tired or didn’t have enough coffee so I forgot. But, when I told the staff member on the kiosk if I could get a refunded ticket, he refused as it was my mistake. It was only 3JOD but still…

Other than that hiccup, I had no problems using the pass throughout my travels! In fact, it saved me so much time and money. I didn’t even have to think about getting enough cash or using my card for anything really. 

The Jordan Pass was a lifesaver – I would highly recommend it. 

Final tips for using the pass 

• Once you’ve made your decision about what Jordan Pass you want, you can’t upgrade or downgrade your pass. Personally, the difference in price is so little, I’d always add on a day at Petra just in case. It beats, paying the 90JOD again…
• Always check if your Jordan Pass is valid for an attraction before you pay for a ticket. Don’t make my mistake.
• Make sure you have your passes on your phone. Take a screenshot, have it on file in your inbox/documents folder and take a few paper copies. You don’t want to lose it for Petra as this is the most expensive attraction.
• Always contact the service team at https://www.jordanpass.jo/ if you have any issues. They’re apparently very helpful! 

Are you heading around Jordan? 

So, that’s my full Jordan Pass review and whether it’s worth it…Now, let’s start planning your trip to Jordan! 

The best places to visit would be Amman, The Dead Sea, Petra, and Wadi Rum. But, there are also many more amazing places including the Ma’in Hot Springs, Wadi Mujib, Aqaba as well. 

I would definitely recommend renting a car in Jordan if you’re travelling independently. Taking taxis is an expensive activity in Jordan. For example, a taxi from Amman to Petra is well over $200USD! Click here for my detailed guide.

If you’re debating whether to skip Amman, I would highly recommend that you don’t. It’s a fantastic city with so much to do, here’s my complete guide with all the things to do here.

The article explains well how JP works, thank you. The Jordan pass is functional, and if your destination is Petra and you stay more than three nights, it will save you money. Without a visit to Petra, it does not give much benefit. Visiting Petra takes time, but I wouldn't want to spend more than two days on it. Getting to know Petra in depth will take several days, the area is so large. In many places you have to pay an entrance fee and you cannot get in with a Jordan pass. And most of the destinations included in the it can be skipped without a visit, for example Aqaba Castle. And on the other hand, at the baptismal site of Jesus, for example, you pay the entrance fee separately and it's not cheap either. Religious historical areas and churches require an entrance fee everywhere anyway. It's a bit special when you're used to places like that being free of entrance fees. Jordan is a great country and so are the people there!

Hi Pasi, I agree there is definitely pros and cons for the Jordan Pass. I mainly bought it as it was a Visa and entry to Petra. It provides a massive discount compared to buying the tickets separately. But, I do agree, that beyond that the attractions are limited. Jerash was great though and Amman had several attractions. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Sophie x

Hi We've are using half day in Little Petra and one day in Petra. So we need the one day or two day option for the Jordan Pass?

Thursday 20th of April 2023

Hi Linda, I would always recommend the 2 day in Petra option as Petra is HUGE. Thanks, Sophie x

Thanks a lot Sophie, very well described revue of the Jordan pass, I will absolutely get it for our trip to Jordan next March. I had heard about the non receival or late receival and problems with the Jordan Pass , your revue gives me a bit of peace... I am a globe traveller for fun and for work ( only missing Australia as continent to have visited) and I have learned that all information/ experiences are worth a lot, since you avoid mistakes others might have made. Thank you very much.

Tuesday 3rd of January 2023

Hi Hans, I have also heard about problems but now it should be all good to go. I would make sure to order your pass early to make sure you have it before you arrive :) Hope this helps and enjoy Jordan. Sophie x
