Pakistani passport holders need a visa to enter Jordan in 2026. You must apply and receive approval before you travel — there is no visa on arrival for Pakistani nationals. Plan ahead, as processing can take a week or more.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | You need a visa to enter Jordan. Apply online through the Jordan eServices portal at eservices.moi.gov.jo. Processing takes 2–5 business days, and you receive the visa by email — print it and carry it with your passport.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining from your date of entry into Jordan. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Jordan | Immigration officers at Queen Alia International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary ready — they check this before stamping your passport. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Jordan. Immigration may ask for it at the border, especially if you are arriving without a pre-booked tour. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Have bank statements or cash equivalent to at least 500 JOD (around $700 USD) for a short visit. Immigration rarely asks, but if you cannot show sufficient funds, they may deny entry. | Recommended |
No visa on arrival for Pakistani passport holders
Do not book a flight expecting to get a visa at the airport. You must have an approved visa in hand before you travel. Airlines will check this before boarding.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Jordan, not from your departure date. If your passport expires sooner, renew it first.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for your visa online
Go to eservices.moi.gov.jo, create an account, and fill out the visa application form. Upload a scanned copy of your passport bio page and a passport-sized photo. Pay the visa fee (around 40 JOD for a single-entry tourist visa) by credit card. Wait for the approval email — this can take 5–10 business days.
2
Prepare your documents for travel
Print or save to your phone: the visa approval email, your return flight ticket, and your hotel booking confirmation. Make sure your passport has at least one blank page and is valid for 6+ months from your entry date.
3
Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) in Amman
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control' (not 'Visa on Arrival' — that counter is for other nationalities). Join the queue for foreign passports. Hand over your passport, visa approval printout (or show the email on your phone), and return ticket if asked. The officer will stamp your passport and let you through. Collect your luggage and proceed to customs.

Frequently asked questions
No. Pakistani nationals are not eligible for visa on arrival in Jordan. You must obtain a visa in advance through the online e-services portal before you travel.
Processing typically takes 5–10 business days, but it can vary. Apply at least 2–3 weeks before your planned departure to be safe. You'll receive an approval email once it's processed.
The standard single-entry tourist visa fee is around 40 Jordanian Dinars (about $56 USD). Fees are paid online by credit card during the application. Double-entry or multiple-entry visas cost more.
Rejections are rare but can happen if your documents are incomplete or your passport doesn't meet validity requirements. You can reapply after addressing the issue. There is no formal appeal process — just submit a new application.
Yes. You need proof of onward travel — either a return flight to Pakistan or a ticket to your next destination. A one-way ticket without onward proof may get you denied boarding.
Tourist visas are typically valid for 30 days from entry. Extensions are possible but not guaranteed — you must visit a police station or immigration office in Amman before your visa expires. Overstaying can result in fines.
It is not officially required for visa approval or at immigration, but it is strongly recommended. Medical costs in Jordan can be high, and insurance gives you peace of mind.
