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.
