Visa on arrival — no advance application needed
Romanian passport holders can get a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and all land border crossings. No need to apply online or at an embassy beforehand.
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash — no credit or debit cards accepted. Bring Jordanian Dinars, US dollars, or euros. ATMs are available after baggage claim, but it's easier to have cash ready.
What happens at the border
1
Land at Queen Alia International Airport
After deplaning, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' counters before passport control. There are separate queues for visa purchase and immigration.

Pay the visa fee
At the visa counter, pay the fee in cash (Jordanian Dinar, US dollars, or euros). As of 2026, the single-entry visa costs 40 JOD (about 56 USD). Keep the receipt.

Get your passport stamped
Hand your passport, receipt, and boarding pass to the immigration officer. They'll stamp you in — usually for up to 30 days. No forms to fill out.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. The whole process typically takes 20–40 minutes.
