Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Jordan visa on arrival | Brazilian passport holders get a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and other land borders.

| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Jordan. Airlines at departure check this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Outbound travel proof | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket before granting the visa on arrival. Have a printed or digital copy of your next flight out of Jordan ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Jordan. Immigration may ask for it during the visa on arrival process, especially if you are staying more than a few days. | Recommended |
Visa on arrival is straightforward
The process at Queen Alia International Airport usually takes 10–15 minutes. Have your passport, return ticket, and cash ready. If you're arriving at a land border, expect slightly longer queues.
Overstaying your visa
If you stay beyond the 30-day visa, you'll be fined 1.5 JOD per day (about $2 USD). Pay at the airport before departure or at any police station. Don't ignore it — it can affect future travel to Jordan.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) or a land border
At Amman airport, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' counters before passport control. At land borders (e.g., from Israel), the process is similar — look for the visa office. Pay the fee, get your stamp, then proceed to immigration.
2
Present documents at immigration
Hand over your passport, visa receipt, and return ticket if asked. The officer will stamp you in. Keep the visa slip attached to your passport — you'll need it when leaving.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, grab your bags from baggage claim and walk through customs. There's usually no customs declaration unless you're carrying large sums of cash or restricted items.

Frequently asked questions
The fee is 40 Jordanian dinars (JOD), which is roughly $56 USD. You can pay in cash (JOD, USD, or EUR) or by credit/debit card at the counter. Some border crossings may only accept cash, so carry JOD just in case.
Yes, but you must apply for an extension at a Jordanian police station or the Immigration Department before your visa expires. Extensions are typically granted for 1–3 months and cost around 20 JOD per month. Overstaying can result in fines.
If you're staying airside and not passing through immigration, you don't need a visa. But if you leave the transit area (e.g., to explore Amman during a layover), you'll need the visa on arrival.
Yes, Brazilians can get a visa on arrival at the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge, Yitzhak Rabin/Wadi Araba, and Sheikh Hussein crossings. The process is the same as at the airport — pay 40 JOD and get your stamp. Note that the Allenby Bridge crossing can be slower and may have different operating hours.
You will be denied entry. Jordan strictly enforces the 6-month validity rule. Renew your passport before traveling, even if it's close to the 6-month mark.
Immigration rarely asks for proof of funds, but it's smart to have a credit card or bank statement handy. For accommodation, you only need to show the first night's booking — they don't require a full itinerary.
No, it's not required for the visa itself. However, Jordan's healthcare system can be expensive for foreigners, and travel insurance is strongly recommended. Some tour operators or border crossings may ask for it, so it's safer to have it.
