No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Nepali passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Jordan. If you show up without a visa, you'll be denied entry and sent back on the next flight. Always secure your visa before departure.
Plan for embassy processing time
Since you'll likely apply through the Jordanian embassy in New Delhi, factor in mailing or travel time. Start the process at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to avoid last-minute stress.
What happens at the border
1
Locate the nearest Jordanian embassy or consulate
Find the Jordanian diplomatic mission that covers your country of residence. In Nepal, there is no Jordanian embassy, so you'll likely need to apply through the Jordanian embassy in New Delhi, India, or another designated mission. Contact them first to confirm their jurisdiction and appointment procedures.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, form, accommodation proof, flight itinerary, and bank statements. Make photocopies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least 6 months validity and 1 blank page.
3
Submit your application and pay the fee
Submit your complete application in person or by mail (if the embassy allows). Pay the visa fee and get a receipt. Some embassies require an interview — be prepared to explain your travel plans.
4
Wait for processing
Processing can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Ask the embassy for an estimated timeline. Do not book non-refundable flights until you have your visa.
5
Collect your passport with the visa
Once approved, you'll get your passport back with the visa sticker. Check that your name, passport number, and validity dates are correct. If anything is wrong, contact the embassy immediately.
6
Travel to Jordan
Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman. Go through immigration with your passport and visa. Have your accommodation and return flight details ready in case they ask. The visa allows a stay of up to 30 days.
