Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Jordan visa on arrival | Slovenian passport holders get a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and most land borders. The visa costs 40 JOD (about $56 USD) for a single entry and is valid for 30 days. Have the exact fee in cash — the counter does not always accept cards.Check visa details | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure date from Jordan. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. Without one, you may be refused entry or directed to buy a ticket on the spot. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Jordan. Immigration may ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | Have access to at least $1,000 USD or equivalent in cash, credit cards, or bank statements. Immigration rarely checks, but the law requires you to show sufficient funds for your stay. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in Jordanian dinars cash at the bank counter before immigration. No cards, no euros, no dollars. Exchange money at the airport or bring dinars with you.
Jordan Pass can save you money
If you're staying 3+ nights and plan to visit Petra, the Jordan Pass (70–80 JOD) includes the visa fee and entry to many sites. Buy it online before you travel — you'll skip the visa-on-arrival queue.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM)
After landing, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' or 'Bank' before immigration. Go to the bank counter first — pay 40 JOD cash for the visa sticker. You'll get a receipt and a sticker.
2
Get your visa sticker
Take the receipt and your passport to the immigration officer. They'll affix the visa sticker and stamp you in. The whole process takes 10–15 minutes if the queue is short.

Proceed to baggage claim and customs
After immigration, collect your luggage and walk through the green channel if you have nothing to declare. No additional forms needed.
