Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Jordan visa on arrival | Moroccan passport holders get a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and the King Hussein Bridge (Allenby) border crossing.

The visa is valid for 30 days and is not extendable.Check visa details | 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 at Amman airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. If you plan to exit overland, carry proof of your onward itinerary. | 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 Jordanian host. A simple booking.com printout works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | You should be able to show you have enough money for your stay — around JOD 50–100 per day. A bank statement or credit card is usually sufficient, but few travellers get asked. | Recommended |
Visa on arrival is the standard entry for Moroccans
You don't need to apply for an e-visa or visit an embassy beforehand. Just show up at the airport or land border with your passport and cash. The process takes about 10-15 minutes.
Cash only at the visa counter
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash. Cards are not accepted. Bring Jordanian dinars, US dollars, or euros. ATMs are available after immigration, but it's easier to have cash ready.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the visa-on-arrival counter
At Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' after baggage claim. At land borders like the King Hussein Bridge, the process is similar. Have your passport and return ticket ready.
2
Pay the visa fee
The visa on arrival costs 40 JOD (about $56 USD) for most nationalities. Pay in cash — Jordanian dinars, US dollars, or euros are accepted. Keep the receipt.
3
Get your visa sticker and stamp
The officer will place a visa sticker in your passport and stamp it. Check the validity — usually 30 days. You can extend it later if needed.
4
Proceed to immigration
After getting the visa, go to the immigration counter. Hand over your passport, visa receipt, and return ticket if asked. Answer any questions about your stay. Then you're through.
