Frequently asked questions
No. Jordanian passport holders are not eligible for visa on arrival. You must apply for an e-Visa online before you travel.
Processing usually takes 3–5 business days. Apply at least a week before your planned departure to be safe. The fee is around $50–$70 depending on the type and duration.
The standard e-Visa allows a stay of up to 30 days from the date of entry. It is single entry only. If you need longer, you must apply for a different visa type before travel.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Bangladesh. If it expires sooner, renew your passport before applying for the e-Visa.
Bangladesh requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Jordan is not a risk country, so you likely don't need it unless you have recently traveled to an affected area.
Extensions are not available for standard e-Visas. If you need to stay longer, you must leave the country and apply for a new visa, or apply for a different visa type before travel that allows longer stays.
Have your passport, printed e-Visa, return ticket, and accommodation booking confirmation ready. The officer may also ask for proof of sufficient funds — a bank statement or credit card is usually enough.
