Check embassy requirements before applying
Embassy requirements can change. Always confirm the exact document list, fee, and processing time with the Jordanian embassy or consulate where you'll apply. Some embassies may ask for additional documents like a travel insurance policy or a letter of employment.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the Jordanian embassy or consulate
Find the nearest Jordanian embassy or consulate in your country (e.g., in Islamabad or Karachi). Call or email them to confirm the exact application procedure, required documents, and fee. Some embassies require an appointment.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, form, accommodation proof, flight itinerary, bank statements. Make photocopies of everything — the embassy will likely keep copies and return originals.
3
Submit your application in person
Visit the embassy or consulate during their visa submission hours. Submit your documents, pay the fee, and provide biometrics if requested. You may be asked a few questions about your trip.
4
Wait for processing
Processing times vary — typically 5 to 10 working days, but it can take longer. Check with the embassy for current timelines. You can usually track your application or get a call when it's ready.
5
Collect your passport with the visa
Return to the embassy or consulate to pick up your passport with the visa sticker. Verify the visa details (dates, number of entries) are correct before leaving the embassy.
