The government portal, read on 2026-09-18, does name the single-entry tourist visa, the visa issued on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and at the border crossings, and the electronic visa applied for online. It cites stays of one or three months, a passport valid for six months and fees that vary by type and duration, without publishing the amounts.

Where and how to apply

The consular services section of the ministry of foreign affairs and expatriates presents the services offered to Jordanian nationals and to foreign nationals alike, and refers to the consular forms and applications, the legalization offices, the emergency assistance service and a contact form. It describes no visa category, no submission channel, no document, no fee and no processing time.

The Jordanian government portal names three routes: the single-entry tourist visa, the visa issued on arrival and the electronic visa. It states that the visa is obtained at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, at the border crossings, or online for the electronic visa.

The electronic services portal of the ministry of the interior carries an electronic visa section, whose content is only accessible after logging in. The pages of the ministry of the interior and of the ministry of tourism and antiquities refused the connection during the consultations of 2026-09-18.

The ministry of tourism and antiquities also publishes the Jordan Pass, a tourist pass that provides for a waiver of the tourist visa fees subject to conditions of purchase before arrival and of a minimum length of stay.
