What happens at the border

Frequently asked questions
As of 2026, the single-entry visa on arrival costs 40 Jordanian Dinars (about 56 USD). You can pay in JOD or sometimes USD, but cash is required — no cards. Have exact change to speed things up.
No, the visa on arrival is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you'll have to leave and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type before travel. Plan your trip accordingly.
No printing is required. Just have your passport, return ticket (digital is fine), and hotel booking (digital is fine) ready. The visa sticker is issued at the airport.
Visa on arrival is available at most land borders (like the King Hussein Bridge from Israel), but the process may be slower and fees might differ slightly. Check the specific border crossing's rules before you go. Air arrival at Queen Alia is the smoothest.
No, the standard visa on arrival is single-entry. If you leave Jordan (e.g., to Israel or the West Bank) and want to come back, you'll need to pay for a new visa on return. Consider a multiple-entry visa if you plan to exit and re-enter.
