Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Jordan eVisa at eservices.moi.gov.jo. Processing takes 2–3 business days. Print the approval email and carry it with your passport — border officers check for it before stamping entry.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your Vietnamese passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from the date you enter Jordan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Jordan immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or next destination ticket ready. Without it, you risk being refused entry at Queen Alia International Airport. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Hotel booking confirmations or a letter of invitation from your host in Jordan can speed up the immigration interview. Officers may ask where you are staying — having a printed booking helps. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Carry evidence of sufficient funds — bank statements or a credit card with a reasonable limit. Jordanian border officers rarely ask, but if they do, showing a bank statement with at least $500–$1,000 equivalent covers most short visits. | Recommended |
Visa on Arrival Not Available
Vietnamese passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Jordan. You must apply for an e-visa online before you travel. Don't show up at the airport without one.
Passport Validity Counts from Arrival
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Jordan, not from your departure date. Double-check before you apply.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for Jordan e-Visa Online
Go to the official Jordan e-visa website (eservices.moi.gov.jo). Fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport photo, and pay the visa fee (40 JOD for a single-entry tourist visa). Processing takes 2-5 business days. Print the approval email.
2
Prepare Your Documents
Before you fly, gather your printed visa approval, passport (valid 6+ months), return ticket, and first night hotel booking. Also download a local eSIM or arrange a SIM card so you have data on arrival.

Arrival at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM)
When you land in Amman, follow signs to 'Passport Control'. Join the queue for 'Foreign Passports'. Hand over your passport, visa approval, and return ticket if asked. The officer will stamp your passport. Expect a 15-30 minute wait.

Collect Luggage and Exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim. Then head to customs — use the green channel if you have nothing to declare. Walk straight out into the arrivals hall.
