What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Jordanian embassy or consulate
Find the Jordanian embassy or consulate responsible for your country (or region). Call or email them to confirm the exact visa application process, required documents, and fees. Some embassies require an in-person appointment; others accept applications by mail.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: your passport, completed application form, photos, accommodation proof, bank statements, and travel itinerary. Make photocopies of everything — the embassy will likely keep the originals of some documents.
3
Submit your application and pay the fee
Submit your application in person or by mail, depending on the embassy's rules. Pay the visa fee and get a receipt. Ask for a timeline — processing can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.
4
Wait for processing
The embassy will review your application. They may contact you for additional information. Keep your receipt and any tracking number. Processing times vary, so apply well in advance of your travel date.
5
Collect your passport with the visa
Once approved, you'll get your passport back with the Jordanian visa stamped inside. Check the visa's validity dates and the number of entries allowed. If anything looks wrong, contact the embassy immediately.
6
Arrive in Jordan and go through immigration
At Queen Alia International Airport in Amman (or another entry point), present your passport with the visa to the immigration officer. They may ask about your accommodation and travel plans. Have your hotel booking and return ticket ready to show if asked.
