Lithuanian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Jordan in 2026. The process is straightforward at major entry points like Queen Alia International Airport. You'll need a valid passport, a return ticket, and proof of accommodation.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Lithuanian passport holders get a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and other land borders. The visa costs 40 JOD (around $56 USD) for single entry, valid for 30 days. Have cash in Jordanian dinars or USD ready — the visa counter does not accept cards.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Jordan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket out of Jordan. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. Without one, you may be refused entry and sent back on the next flight. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation | Border officers may ask where you are staying. Have a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from a host in Jordan ready to show. A printed copy works best. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | You may be asked to show you have enough money for your stay. Carry at least 500 JOD (around $700 USD) in cash or have a bank statement showing available funds. Credit cards are widely accepted in Amman but less so at border crossings. | Recommended |
Cash is king at the visa counter
Bring 40 JOD or equivalent USD in cash. Credit card machines can be unreliable, and ATMs are after immigration. You'll save time and hassle.
Jordan Pass can save you money
If you're staying 3+ nights and plan to visit Petra, Jerash, or other sites, consider buying a Jordan Pass online before you go. It covers your visa fee and entry to over 40 attractions. You'll skip the visa payment queue at the airport.
What happens at the border
1
Land at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM)
After deplaning, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' counters. There are separate queues for visa purchase and immigration. Have your passport and return ticket ready.
2
Pay the visa fee
At the visa counter, pay the fee (typically 40 JOD for a single-entry tourist visa). Cash is easiest — bring Jordanian dinars or US dollars. Credit cards are sometimes accepted but not guaranteed.
3
Receive your visa sticker
The officer will affix a visa sticker to a blank page in your passport. Check that the validity dates are correct before moving on.
4
Proceed to immigration
Join the immigration queue. Hand over your passport with the visa sticker, your boarding pass, and any requested documents (return ticket, hotel booking). The officer may ask a few questions about your stay.
5
Collect your luggage and exit
After the stamp, collect your bags from the carousel and proceed through customs. You're now in Jordan.
