Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Jordan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Jordan | Immigration officers at Queen Alia International Airport regularly ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready — they will check the date matches your visa-free stay limit. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host. Immigration may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | Have a bank statement or credit card available. Officers rarely ask for it, but if they do, they want to see you have enough money for your stay without working illegally. | Recommended |
No visa fee, no application needed
Qatari passport holders don't need to pay any visa fee or fill out forms. Just show up with a valid passport and you're in.
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it's close to expiring, renew it before you travel — you could be turned away at the border.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) or other border
You'll land at Amman's main airport or cross by land from Israel, Syria, or Saudi Arabia. At the airport, follow signs to 'Passport Control' — there's a dedicated queue for visa-free arrivals.
2
Present your passport and supporting documents
Hand over your passport (valid 6+ months) and be ready to show your return ticket and accommodation booking if asked. The officer will stamp your passport — no visa fee, no forms to fill.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After the stamp, head to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually nothing to declare for personal items. You're free to enter Jordan for up to 90 days.
