| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Jordan. Airlines check this at check-in — 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 out of Jordan ready — they will check the date matches your visa validity. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have your hotel reservation or a host's invitation letter ready. Immigration may ask where you are staying — a printed booking confirmation speeds things up. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | Carry at least 500 JOD (around $700 USD) in cash or have a credit card with available limit. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, you need to show you can cover your stay. | Recommended |
Cash is king at immigration
The visa fee must be paid in cash at the bank counter before immigration. ATMs are available after you pass through, but you'll need cash beforehand. Bring Jordanian Dinars, US dollars, or Euros — exact change helps.
Visa on arrival is straightforward
Thousands of tourists do this every day. The process at Queen Alia Airport is well-organized. Just follow the signs, pay the fee, and you're through in 15–30 minutes.
What happens at the border
1
Land at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM)
After deplaning, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Visa on Arrival'. You'll see a bank counter before the immigration booths — stop there first.
2
Pay the visa fee at the bank counter
Hand over your passport and the fee (40 JOD cash). The teller will give you a receipt. Keep it — you'll need it at the next step.
3
Proceed to immigration officer
Give the officer your passport, the payment receipt, and your boarding pass. They'll ask a few questions (purpose of visit, where you're staying). Answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport and you're in.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, head to baggage claim, then customs. You're free to go. Total time: usually 15–30 minutes if the queue is short.

Frequently asked questions
The single-entry visa costs 40 Jordanian Dinars (JOD), which is about 56 USD or 52 EUR as of 2026. You can pay in JOD, US dollars, or Euros. Have the exact amount in cash — change may not be available.
You can get a visa on arrival at most official entry points, including the King Hussein Bridge (Allenby) from the West Bank, the Sheikh Hussein Bridge from Israel, and the Aqaba port. However, the process is smoothest at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman. At land borders, the same fee applies, but queues can be longer.
If you're staying airside and not passing through immigration, you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the transit area (e.g., to explore Amman during a long layover), you'll need the visa on arrival. For layovers under 6 hours, it's usually not worth the hassle.
No, the visa on arrival is not extendable. If you want to stay longer than 30 days, you'll need to apply for a different visa type before travel or visit a Jordanian immigration office in Amman to request an extension — but approval is not guaranteed. Best to plan your trip within the 30-day window.
You will be denied entry. Jordan strictly enforces the 6-month validity rule. If your passport is close to expiring, renew it before you travel. No exceptions.
You don't need to show a specific amount of money, but immigration officers may ask where you're staying. Having a hotel booking confirmation (even for one night) is a good idea. They rarely ask for bank statements, but it's smart to have a credit card or some cash handy.
No, it's not mandatory for the visa on arrival. But it's strongly recommended — medical costs in Jordan can be high, and if you need hospital care, you'll be glad you have coverage. Some travel insurance policies also cover trip cancellation or lost luggage.
