Cambodian passport holders need a visa to enter Jordan. The easiest option is to apply for an e-visa online before you travel. Processing can take a few business days, so plan ahead and have your documents ready.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application eVisa or visa on arrival | Jordan offers an eVisa at eservices.moi.gov.jo for most nationalities. You can also get a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport for 40 JOD — bring cash in good condition. The eVisa costs 40 JOD and takes 2–3 business days to process.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from your date of entry into Jordan. Airlines check this strictly at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Jordan | Immigration officers at Queen Alia Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone — they check this before stamping your passport. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Jordan. Border officers sometimes ask for it, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Have a bank statement or cash equivalent to at least 500 JOD (about $700 USD) for a short visit. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
E-visa vs visa on arrival
Both options work for Cambodian passport holders. The e-visa saves you time at the airport — you skip the visa-on-arrival queue. Visa on arrival costs the same (40 JOD) but requires cash (Jordanian dinars) and can take longer. If you're arriving late at night, the e-visa is smoother.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Jordan, not from your departure date. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before you apply.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the e-visa online
Go to the Jordan Ministry of Interior e-services portal (eservices.moi.gov.jo). Fill in your details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee online (40 JOD for a single-entry tourist visa). Processing usually takes 2–5 business days. You'll receive the approved visa by email — print it or save a PDF on your phone.
2
Prepare your documents before departure
Print or save on your phone: the approved e-visa, your passport (valid 6+ months), return flight booking, and first-night hotel confirmation. Also grab travel insurance and an eSIM if you want them.
3
Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) in Amman
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control'. Join the queue for foreign passports. Hand over your passport and printed e-visa. The officer will check your documents, stamp your passport, and let you through. Keep your boarding pass handy — they may ask for it. The whole process usually takes 10–20 minutes.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, head to baggage claim. Then walk through customs (green channel if nothing to declare). You're in Jordan.
