Visa-free entry is straightforward
Omani passport holders get 90 days visa-free in Jordan. No application, no fee, no prior arrangement needed. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket.
Overstaying is costly
The 90-day stay is not extendable. Overstaying can lead to fines of about 1.5 JOD per day (roughly $2 USD) and potential entry bans. Set a reminder to leave on time.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents
Before you leave, check your passport is valid for 6+ months from your entry date. Book your return/onward ticket and first night accommodation. Save screenshots of both on your phone. Consider getting travel insurance and a local eSIM.
2
Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM)
Most flights land at Amman's main airport. Follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then to 'Passport Control'. There are separate queues for Jordanian citizens and foreigners — join the foreigners queue.
3
Present your passport at immigration
Hand over your passport to the officer. They will check your visa-free eligibility, stamp your passport, and may ask for your return ticket or accommodation details. Answer clearly and briefly. The process usually takes 1-2 minutes.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim. Collect your bags, then head through customs (green channel if nothing to declare). You're now free to enter Jordan.
