Entry via Jordan
If you enter through the Allenby Bridge from Jordan, expect a longer process — allow 2–3 hours for border formalities. Bring small change in Jordanian dinars or US dollars for fees.
Passport validity is critical
The 6-month passport validity rule is strictly enforced. If your passport expires sooner, you will be denied entry. Check your passport now.
