Visa required — apply early
Mozambican passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival. You must apply online at eservices.moi.gov.jo at least a week before travel. No exceptions.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the day you enter Jordan, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew before applying.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for your visa online
Go to eservices.moi.gov.jo, create an account, fill in your details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page, and pay the visa fee (around 40-60 JOD depending on type). Processing takes 2-5 business days.
2
Print or save your visa approval
Once approved, you'll receive a PDF or reference number. Print a copy and keep a digital version on your phone. You'll need to show it at the immigration counter in Jordan.
3
Prepare your documents for arrival
At Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, join the 'Visa on Arrival' queue (even though you have a pre-approved visa). Hand over your passport, visa approval, and return ticket. The officer will stamp you in. No additional payment at the counter.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually no customs declaration for personal items. Exit into the arrivals hall.
