Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Belgian passport holders get a free 30-day visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and most land borders. Hand over your passport at the visa counter before immigration — they stamp it on the spot. No advance application needed.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Jordan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, they will deny boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Return or onward ticket | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. Without it, you risk being refused entry. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Proof of accommodation | Hotel booking confirmations or a letter of invitation from your host in Jordan. Officers rarely ask, but having a printed copy speeds things up if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Proof of funds | Carry enough cash (USD or EUR) or a credit card to cover your stay. There is no fixed minimum, but showing you can support yourself keeps the conversation short. | Recommended |
Jordan Pass can save you money
If you're visiting Petra, Jerash, or other major sites, the Jordan Pass (70-80 JOD) covers entry to 40+ attractions and waives the visa fee if you stay at least 3 nights. Buy it online before you travel.
Cash is king for the visa fee
While credit cards are accepted at the visa counter, having 40 JOD in cash (Jordanian dinars) is the safest bet. ATMs are available after passport control, but you'll need the visa first.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) or land border
Follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' counters. These are clearly marked. At AMM, the counters are before passport control. At the King Hussein Bridge (Allenby) or other land crossings, the process is similar but may take a bit longer.
2
Fill out the visa application form
You'll be given a simple form to complete. It asks for basic info: name, passport number, flight number, and address in Jordan. Fill it out in English.
3
Pay the visa fee
The fee is 40 JOD (about €52) for a single-entry visa. Pay in cash (Jordanian dinars) or by credit card. Keep the receipt.
4
Receive your visa sticker
The officer will place a visa sticker in your passport. Check that the dates and your name are correct before walking away.
5
Proceed to passport control
Show your passport with the new visa, your boarding pass, and any requested documents (return ticket, accommodation). The officer will stamp you in.
