Entry requirements

This information is for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK. It is based on the UK government’s understanding of Jordan’s current rules for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Jordan set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Jordanian Embassy in the UK .

COVID-19 rules

There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering Jordan.

Passport validity requirements

To enter Jordan, your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 6 months after the date you arrive.

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

Dual nationals

If you are a British-Jordanian dual national, you can use your British passport to enter Jordan, but you must show your Jordanian passport when you leave.

Children with a Jordanian passport  

Children with a Jordanian passport, who are travelling without their father, cannot depart Jordan without a letter of permission signed by their father. They must have a letter even if they enter Jordan on a British passport.

Previous travel to Israel

If your passport has an Israeli stamp, you will not usually experience difficulties entering Jordan. If you have concerns, contact the Jordanian Embassy in the UK .

Visa requirements

You must have a visa to visit Jordan. You can get this on arrival.

If you wish to also visit Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, you can get a multiple-entry visa from the Jordanian Embassy in the UK .

Applying for a visa

You can buy a single-entry visit visa when you arrive at a Jordanian airport or the Sheikh Hussein/North Border crossing. It costs 40 Jordanian dinars and is valid for one month. Some airlines may ask you to submit a health declaration at check-in.

If you’re visiting for tourism, you can apply for a Jordan Pass online before you arrive. You will not need to pay tourist entry visa fees if you stay at least 3 nights (4 days). The pass gives discounted entry to major tourist sites.

You can extend your Jordan visa online for up to 6 months. You could get a fine if you overstay.

Land border crossings

Land crossings with Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories may be restricted or close at short notice due to the conflict. See Israel travel advice and Occupied Palestinian Territories travel advice and check with the Jordanian authorities before crossing.

The King Hussein Bridge/Allenby crossing is not an international crossing between Jordan and the Occupied Palestinian Territories or Israel. You cannot enter Jordan using the King Hussein Bridge/Allenby crossing without getting a visa beforehand.

If you wish to combine travel to Jordan with a visit to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, you can get a multiple-entry visa before you travel from the Jordanian Embassy in London. You should also check the Israel travel advice before using the land borders to enter Israel.

On the Jordanian side, board guards will stamp passports unless the traveller requests otherwise and tells them before they hand over their passport.

Departure tax

You must pay a departure tax of 10 Jordanian dinars in cash at all land border crossings. There are usually ATMs at the border.

Vaccine requirements

The jordan pass: 8 useful tips to get you going (2022 update).

It’s fair to applause the Jordan tourism board, as they made it incredibly easy to explore the country’s major tourist attractions.

With the clear initiative to help travellers throughout their journey in Jordan, they designed the Jordan Pass; an all-in-one sightseeing package that will save holders money, while also letting them travel more efficiently.

With access to over 40 tourist attractions, including Petra, Wadi Rum and Jerash, and the waiving of the tourist visa fees when staying longer than four days in the country, the Jordan Pass makes for an excellent deal, and certainly one I recommend purchasing.

To help you out, I’ve put together this in-depth Jordan Pass guide, featuring all the essential information, including how it works, the price, where to buy, which options to choose from, and more.

The Jordan Pass: 8 tips to get you going

1 | A brief overview 2 | The price 3 | Can I Buy it at the airport? 4 | Where to buy?

5 | What sites are included? 6 | Tourist entry visa 7 | Is it worth it? 8 | Plan your Jordan itinerary

#1 The Jordan Pass | A brief overview

Tailor-made by the official Jordan Tourism Board, the Jordan pass is the ultimate sightseeing package for those travelling to Jordan.

With the clear ambition to make travelling in Jordan as convenient as possible, the Jordan Pass was made to help visitors make the most of their trip, whilst they also save money and travel more efficiently.

It is good to mention, that the Jordan Pass comes in the form of a personalized digital document that will be scanned upon your arrival in the country, and once you visit the included sights.

Additionally, you can also print your Jordan Pass, since there’s a QR code on the ticket.

I’d personally recommend printing two copies of your pass, in case something happens to your phone and you lose access to your digital pass.

#2 The Jordan Pass price

Since there are three different options to choose from, the price of the Jordan Pass depends on one key factor; the number of days you plan to explore the ancient city of Petra.

The three options include:

Jordan Wanderer

One day access to Petra 70 JD (€90,-)

Jordan Explorer

Two days access to Petra 75 JOD (€97,-)

Jordan Expert

Three days access to Petra 80 JOD (€103,-)

I opted for the Jordan Explorer, since I planned two consecutive days exploring Petra, and would highly recommend anyone to do the same.

One thing worth noting is that if you spend less than three nights in Jordan, you’ll be charged the initial visa entry fee – 40 JOD (€52,-) when leaving the country.

#3 Can I buy the Jordan Pass at the airport?

Unlike the Jordan tourist entry visa, it is unfortunately not possible to purchase your Jordan Pass upon arrival at the airport.

Though the online services are excellent, I totally understand why some travellers prefer buying it once they arrive in the country, especially if you don’t hold a credit card.

#4 So where to get the Jordan Pass?

Instead, you can only buy the Jordan Pass online via the official Jordan Pass website .

Since it takes a few days to process the order, I’d highly recommend purchasing your Jordan Pass at least one week in advance of your trip to Jordan.

Additionally, if your trip is somewhat spontaneously, you can also opt to speed up the process to 1 business day – do keep in mind that this comes at a price.

While I’ve read several stories about issues with the checkout process, I was fortunate enough to get my pass in one try. Still, this could be a great reminder of why you should buy your Jordan Pass in advance.

After purchasing the Jordan Pass, it will be valid for use within 12 months. Also, the pass will automatically expire 14 days after it was first scanned at one of the 40 attractions.

#5 The Jordan Pass | What sites are included?

The Jordan Pass grants holders free one-time entrance to over 40 tourist attractions in Jordan.

I’ve listed some of the most popular attractions included in the pass below:

Petra | Listed one of UNESCO’s New World Wonders, the ancient city of Petra really needs no introduction. This archaeological masterpiece is simply a must-visit for anyone travelling to Jordan.

Wadi Rum | Situated in the southern part of Jordan, the Wadi Rum is a vast protected desert reserve that is marked by towering rock formations and rippled sand dunes.

Jerash | Built by the Romans more than 6,500 years ago, the ancient city of Jerash is known as the largest and best-preserved site of Roman architecture outside of Italy.

The Roman Theatre | This 6,000-seat, 2nd-century Roman theatre is one of Amman’s most famous landmarks, and clearly, one to add to your list with things to do in Jordan.

Amman Citadel | Established in the heart of Downtown Amman lies the Amman Citadel, a citadel of incredible grandeur with a long history of occupation by many great civilizations.

Other attractions include Aqaba Castle, the Jordan Archaeological Museum, Karak Castle, and Madaba Archaeological Museum among others. See all the included attractions here .

#6 What about your tourist entry visa?

On top of the free entrance to Jordan’s most popular highlights, the Jordan Pass will also grant holders a free tourist entry visa when staying a minimum of four days in the country.

But do be aware, you will be charged 40 JOD (€52,-) for the visa entry fee when leaving the country within the four-day mark.

#7 The Jordan Pass | Is it worth it?

If you do the math, you’ll quickly come to the conclusion that purchasing the Jordan Pass will be worth every penny, given a day ticket to Petra and your Jordan tourist entry visa will combine for a total price of 90 JOD.

Meaning those two will already cost more than the three-day Jordan Expert Pass (80 JOD), which is the most expansive option and includes three days in Petra.

Not to mention, that by buying the Jordan Pass, you’ll also waive the entrance fee to Wadi Rum (5 JOD), Jerash (10 JOD), and the Amman Citadel (3 JOD), to name but a few.

Add to that, that the Jordan Pass allows you to skip the line at Petra, and the Jordan Pass turns into an absolute winner.

#8 Now its time to plan your Jordan itinerary

Now that you know all the nitty-gritty details about the Jordan Pass, it’s time to plan your adventurous road trip itinerary through Jordan.

If you’re curious about my 10-day road trip in Jordan , I’ve written an in-depth itinerary that brings you along all the major highlights of this incredible country, so make sure you give it a read too.

Additionally, I’ve also written detailed guides on Petra , Wadi Rum , the Dead Sea , Jerash and Amman .

SAFETY IN JORDAN  |  TRAVEL INSURANCE

When travelling this big wide world, I never go on an adventure without my essential travel insurance sorted out, and though I felt completely safe in Jordan, I recommend anyone travelling here to do the same.

Though you rather don’t think about the things that could go wrong, there’s always a chance that it might happen, and when that’s the case, it is better to be safe than sorry.

To help you find the right policy, I’ve listed two of my favourite options below:

Heymondo  | Whether you’re going on a 3-week backpacking trip, or planning a long stay somewhere abroad, Heymondo has excellent insurance options either way – plus full covid-19 coverage and a handy app with 24-hour medical assistance. Readers of WTSW receive 5% off any insurance policy, more information  here .

World Nomads  | If you’re an adventure seeker, backpacker, or planning your once-in-a-lifetime world trip, make sure you check out World Nomads, they designed the perfect travel insurance to help you travel safer and smarter. Do note that they’re not covering covid-19 related claims.

Do you need a visa to visit Jordan?

Nov 29, 2023 • 4 min read

Discover the delights of Jordan once you've secured your tourist visa © Anastasiia Shavshyna / Getty Images

Intrepid travelers come to Jordan to experience the ancient ruins of Petra , the wide open spaces of Wadi Rum , heart-pumping hikes , Arab hospitality, and (of course) the kunafeh .

Fortunately, Jordan makes entering a breeze for many visitors, offering a visa on arrival and the possibility of an extension (yes, they already suspect you won’t want to leave). Since visa requirements vary based on your country of citizenship, remember to triple-check everything in advance of your trip – changes to entry requirements are not uncommon.

We've got lots of insider tips and information about how to get a visa for Jordan so that you can start planning and packing for the trip of a lifetime . 

Who can enter Jordan visa-free?

Passport holders from about ten countries – including those in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) – can enter Jordan visa-free for stays of up to three months within a six-month period. Citizens of Lebanon can enter Jordan visa-free with a national ID card, while citizens of Yemen, Syria and Libya are also permitted to visit visa-free if they hold a resident permit for at least six months from the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, Switzerland, or a GCC or European Economic Area member state. 

Who needs a visa to enter Jordan?

The majority of visitors from non-Arab countries will need a visa and a passport with six months’ validity to enter Jordan. Some travelers are required to obtain a visa at an embassy before leaving their country, but visitors from 115 countries can get a single-entry visa on arrival for JD40. Consult the list of approved countries to see to see which group you fall into. Rules can change, so call the Jordanian embassy or consulate in your country to confirm.

What is the Jordan Pass?

Travelers from more than 130 countries – including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia – can buy the Jordan Pass , which includes the cost of the visa to enter Jordan. If you’re a citizen of a non-Arab country and planning to visit Petra and stay in Jordan for at least three nights, check to see if you qualify. The pass can be purchased online before departure. After you purchase the Jordan Pass, you’ll receive an email with a QR code. Simply show this to the immigration officers on arrival to receive your visa on the spot. 

The Jordan Pass also includes entry to Petra, Wadi Rum and around 40 additional attractions . Be sure to keep the QR code on your phone and a hard copy to hand while traveling to and around Jordan.

Where can I obtain a visa on arrival?

If you’re eligible for a visa on arrival, you can obtain it at most entry points, including Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba  and Sheikh Hussein Bridge near Irbid. If you enter and exit through Aqaba, the visa fee is waived thanks to the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority . If you exit through another border, you will be charged for the visa.

Visas are not given at the Wadi Araba Crossing near Aqaba (except for Jordan Pass holders and travelers who’ve made prior arrangements) or King Hussein/Allenby Bridge, even for those who are eligible for a visa on arrival. If you will be entering Jordan from Israel by land at these border crossings, you must obtain your visa in advance . 

How can I get a multiple-entry visa for Jordan?

If you are interested in a multiple-entry visa, you must apply in advance at a Jordanian embassy or consulate outside of Jordan. 

This requirement is changing, however – some visitors, including US citizens , can now purchase a multiple-entry visa for JD120 on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport. Consult the Jordanian embassy or consulate in your home country for the most up-to-date information.

Can I extend my visa to Jordan?

Getting a visa extension is possible for many travelers, but it’s not guaranteed. Typically, the visa is free and can be extended by one to three months. This process might move to an online format, but for the time being it’s still done in person, and you’ll have to pay a visit to the police station to request the extension before your visa expires. If you’ve overstayed your visa, you’ll need to pay a fee of JD1.5 per day before you can register for the extension.

While you may hear that visa extensions can be done at any police station, some are not set up for it, so it’s best to handle this in a larger city, such as Amman . Apply for the extension at the station nearest to your hotel or residence. Officials will ask for your address, and if you are not located within their district, they may send you elsewhere.

Is there a working holiday visa for Jordan?

Unfortunately, Jordan does not currently offer a working holiday visa.
