Do I Need a Visa to Visit Jordan? Visa Types, Fees & Entry Guide

Do You Need a Visa to Enter Jordan?

As travel consultants at Petra Moon, one of the first things we help our guests with is understanding Jordan's visa requirements. Whether you’re coming from the UK, USA, India, Canada, or Australia, this guide covers everything you need to know before landing in Petra, Amman, or Aqaba.

Who Needs a Visa to Visit Jordan?

Most international travelers need a visa to enter Jordan. The good news? For many nationalities, you can get a visa on arrival at:

• Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)
• King Hussein International Airport (Aqaba)
• All land borders except the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge

Countries Eligible for Visa on Arrival

If you're from the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, or most EU countries — you’re eligible for a single-entry visa on arrival.

✅ Visa Fee: JOD 40 (~USD 57)

Pre-Arrival Visa Required

Some nationalities, including travelers from India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and certain African nations, need to apply in advance. Reach out to us and we’ll guide you based on your nationality.

What Is the Jordan Pass?

If you’re planning to visit Petra, Wadi Rum, and Jerash, we recommend the Jordan Pass. It includes:

• Visa waiver (for eligible nationalities)
• Entry to 40+ sites including Petra
• Saves time and money

💡 If you stay 3+ nights, your visa fee is waived with the Jordan Pass.

Free Visa via Aqaba (ASEZA Entry)

If you enter Jordan through the Aqaba Special Economic Zone — by land, sea, or air — you’re eligible for a gratis visa.

Departure Tax Info

You’ll be charged a departure tax unless it’s included in your flight ticket.
