Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Jordan visa on arrival | Luxembourg passport holders get a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and most land borders. Pay in cash (Jordanian dinar, US dollars, or euros) — the fee is 40 JOD for a single-entry visa valid for 30 days. Have the exact amount ready; change may be limited.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. A printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary showing departure from Jordan within 30 days works. Budget airlines at AMM check this before issuing a boarding pass. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a printed hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Jordan ready. Immigration may ask for the address and phone number of where you are staying. A booking confirmation from Booking.com or similar is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | Carry at least 500 JOD (or equivalent in USD/EUR) in cash or have a credit card statement showing available funds. Immigration rarely checks this for Luxembourg passport holders, but it is better to have proof ready. | Recommended |
Cash only at the visa counter
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash — Jordanian Dinars or US Dollars. There are ATMs in the arrivals hall, but it's easier to have the exact amount ready. Credit cards are not accepted.
Keep your return ticket handy
Immigration officers at Queen Alia Airport often ask to see your return or onward ticket. Have a screenshot or printed copy ready — don't rely on finding it on your phone under pressure.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) or a land border
Most travellers fly into Amman. After deplaning, follow signs to 'Passport Control' or 'Visa on Arrival'. At land borders like the King Hussein Bridge, the process is similar — head to the immigration counter.
2
Queue at the visa-on-arrival counter
Look for the 'Visa on Arrival' counter — it's usually separate from the main immigration queue. Hand over your passport and the fee (cash only, in Jordanian Dinars or sometimes USD). The officer will process your visa and stamp it.
3
Proceed to immigration and show your documents
After getting the visa sticker, go to the immigration officer. Present your passport, visa, and any requested documents (return ticket, accommodation). They'll scan your passport and let you through.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
Once through immigration, head to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually nothing to declare for personal items. Exit into the arrivals hall.

Frequently asked questions
The visa on arrival costs 40 Jordanian Dinars (about 56 USD) for a single-entry visa valid for 30 days. You must pay in cash — either JOD or USD is accepted. Credit cards are not accepted at the visa counter.
No, the visa on arrival is not extendable. If you need to stay longer than 30 days, you'll need to leave and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type before travel.
If you're transiting and not leaving the airport, you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the transit area — even for a few hours — you'll need the visa on arrival.
The visa on arrival is also available at all major land borders, including the King Hussein Bridge (from Israel) and the borders with Saudi Arabia and Syria. The process and fee are the same. Note that the King Hussein Bridge has limited hours — check before you go.
Yes, children also get a visa on arrival. They need their own passport with at least 6 months validity. The fee is the same as for adults.
You will be denied entry. The 6-month rule is strictly enforced. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before you travel.
Jordan does offer an e-visa, but for Luxembourg passport holders, the visa on arrival is simpler and faster. The e-visa costs the same and takes a few days to process. Unless you have a specific reason to apply in advance, just get it on arrival.
