Tourist visa (single-entry visa on arrival or e-visa), with Jordan Pass fee waiver
Nationals of non-restricted countries can get a single-entry tourist visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and the Sheikh Hussein Bridge, or apply online through the Ministry of Interior. Nationals of restricted countries need prior approval through the Ministry of Interior e-services or a Jordanian embassy. Buying a Jordan Pass before arrival waives the single-entry visa fee for stays of at least two nights.
