No. Jordanian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival. You must have an approved e-Visa before you travel.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it's shorter, renew your passport before applying for the visa.
It's not a standard requirement for short visits, but immigration may ask. Having a credit card or a few hundred euros in cash is a good idea.
Extensions are possible but not guaranteed. You'd need to visit the Department of Citizenship and Migration in Minsk before your visa expires. The process takes a few days and costs around 25-30 EUR.
Overstaying can result in fines (around 50-100 EUR) and possible deportation. Avoid it by leaving before your visa expires.
It's not always checked at immigration, but it's strongly recommended. Medical costs can be high, and insurance covers emergencies.
