Jordan visit visa: eVisa, Jordan Pass, and tourist
A Jordan visit visa is a short stay permission for Indian travellers. Most tourists use the Jordan Pass, an official product that waives the visa fee for a stay of at least three nights and includes entry to over 40 attractions, or the online eVisa. There is no general visa-free entry for Indians, so the visa or pass is arranged before travel. A border officer decides entry.
Data current as of June 2026
What the Jordan visit visa covers
A Jordan visit visa lets Indian travellers come to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan for a short stay, usually up to 30 days. The thing that makes Jordan different is the Jordan Pass.
It covers tourism, visiting family or friends, and business. Indians usually arrive through one of three routes: the Jordan Pass, which is bought online before arrival and waives the tourist visa fee for a stay of at least three nights while including attraction entry, the online eVisa through the Ministry of Interior portal, or the standard tourist visa. There is no general visa-free entry for Indian passport holders.
The visit visa does not allow paid employment, which needs a separate work visa and permit. Travel insurance is now required to enter Jordan. Your entry point also matters, since some borders issue a visa and others do not. This page is a full guide: the three routes, the Jordan Pass packages, the fees, the border rules, the documents, the process, and what to do before and during your visit.
Which Jordan visit visa route is yours?
Before you book, pick your route. For Jordan it depends on how long you will stay and whether you want attraction entry bundled in. These are the three main routes for Indian travellers.
Route A
Jordan Pass
Best if you stay at least three nights and want to see Petra and other sites. It waives the visa fee and bundles attraction entry. Bought online before arrival.
Route B
Online eVisa
Apply through the Ministry of Interior portal before travel. Useful for a short trip or where prior approval is needed, and the visa arrives by email as a PDF.
Route C
Standard tourist visa
The standard single or multiple-entry tourist visa, around 40 dinars for single entry. Suitable where the Jordan Pass does not save you money.
Source: Jordan Pass (jordanpass.jo), Jordan Ministry of Interior eVisa portal, and the Ministry of Tourism, current for 2026. Indian nationals are not visa-exempt. The Jordan Pass is bought online before arrival and waives the tourist visa fee for a stay of at least three nights. The eVisa is applied for online, and some applicants must show a qualifying residence permit or Schengen or US visa. Rules can change, so confirm your route before you book travel.

How the Jordan Pass saves on the visa fee
The single most useful thing to understand about Jordan is the Jordan Pass. The figure below shows how it bundles the visa fee waiver with attraction entry.
Source: Jordan Pass (jordanpass.jo) and the Jordan Ministry of Tourism, current for 2026. The Jordan Pass is bought online before arrival and waives the tourist visa fee of about 40 dinars for a stay of at least three nights, while including entry to over 40 attractions such as Petra, Jerash, and Wadi Rum. It is not a visa by itself, and you still receive a stamp at the border. Rules can change, so confirm before you travel.
Jordan Pass packages compared
There are three Jordan Pass packages. They all waive the visa fee and include over 40 attractions, and the only difference is how many days you spend at Petra.
Jordan Wanderer
JOD 70
about 99 US dollars
- One-day visit to Petra
- Visa fee waived, 3 nights minimum
- Entry to 40+ attractions
Jordan Explorer
JOD 75
about 106 US dollars
- Two-day visit to Petra
- Visa fee waived, 3 nights minimum
- Entry to 40+ attractions
Jordan Expert
JOD 80
about 113 US dollars
- Three-day visit to Petra
- Visa fee waived, 3 nights minimum
- Entry to 40+ attractions
Source: Jordan Pass (jordanpass.jo), current for 2026. The three packages differ only in the number of consecutive days at Petra, and all waive the tourist visa fee for a stay of at least three nights and include entry to over 40 attractions. The pass is single entry, valid for use within 12 months of purchase, and expires about two weeks after it is first scanned. You cannot upgrade or downgrade after buying. Prices can change, so confirm on jordanpass.jo before you buy.
If your trip includes Petra and a few other sites over three or more nights, the pass usually pays for itself. We help you work out whether it saves you money.

For most Indian tourists staying a few nights the Jordan Pass is the simplest and often the cheapest route. We match you to the right option for your trip.
Your entry point changes the rules
Jordan treats different borders differently. Where you arrive decides whether a visa is issued at the border, so plan your entry point with care.
Queen Alia Airport, Amman
The main entry point, with full visa services. The Jordan Pass and the eVisa are both accepted here.
Aqaba, special zone
Entry through the Aqaba zone may give a free entry stamp valid about one month, under registration conditions.
Allenby, King Hussein Bridge
This crossing from the West Bank does not issue a visa at the border, so you must already hold a visa or eVisa.
Source: Jordan Ministry of Interior and Jordan Pass guidance, current for 2026. Queen Alia International Airport in Amman offers full visa services, entry through the Aqaba special economic zone may give a free one-month entry stamp under conditions, and the Allenby or King Hussein Bridge does not issue a visa at the border. The Jordan Pass is accepted at the main entry points. Rules can change, so confirm your entry point before you travel.

The Jordan visit visa process, step by step
You choose your route, buy the pass or apply online, prepare your documents, and carry a printed copy to the border. Follow the steps in order so nothing is missed.
Choose your route
Decide between the Jordan Pass for a multi-night stay, the online eVisa, or the standard tourist visa.
Buy or apply online

The Jordan Pass is issued by email immediately on purchase, the eVisa is usually processed within a few working days, and a visa on arrival, where available, is handled at the border.

Jordan visit visa dos and donts
Small mistakes cause many refusals and lost savings. These dos and donts keep your trip smooth and your application strong.
Do the right things
- Buy the Jordan Pass before you arrive, not after.
- Stay at least three nights to get the fee waived.
- Use only the official Jordan Pass and eVisa sites.
- Carry a printed copy of your pass or eVisa.
- Buy travel insurance, which is now required.
- Check the rules for your entry point.
Do not do these
- Do not buy the Jordan Pass after you arrive.
- Do not expect the waiver for fewer than three nights.
- Do not use third party sites that charge extra.
- Do not arrive at the Allenby Bridge without a visa.
- Do not work in Jordan on a visit visa.
- Do not overstay; a daily fine applies.
Source: Jordan Pass (jordanpass.jo) and Jordan Ministry of Interior guidance, current for 2026. The Jordan Pass must be bought before arrival, and the visa fee waiver needs the minimum night stay. The Allenby or King Hussein Bridge does not issue a visa at the border. Overstaying leads to a daily fine of about 1.5 dinars. Rules can change, so confirm current details.
What to do once you are in Jordan
A visit visa lets you do more than sightsee, within clear limits. Here is what you can and cannot do as a visitor.
You can
- Explore Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea.
- Visit Jerash, the Amman Citadel, and museums.
- Use the Jordan Pass at over 40 attractions.
- Attend meetings and conferences on a business visit.
- Extend your stay by registering within 30 days.
- Stay within the days your visa allows.
You cannot
- Take up paid employment in Jordan.
- Stay beyond the days your visa allows.
- Re-enter on a single-entry visa or pass.
- Treat the visa as permission to settle.
- Ignore your return or onward travel plans.
At the border, an officer asks about your visit and checks your documents, so keep them ready. You can extend a tourist visa by registering at a police station or the Immigration General Affairs Office in Amman within your first 30 days.
Source: Jordan Ministry of Interior and Jordan Pass guidance, current for 2026. Activities must match your visa, and paid work needs a separate work visa and permit. A standard tourist visa allows up to 30 days, extendable by up to 60 additional days if you register within 30 days, free if done on time. An extension is assessed and not guaranteed. Rules can change, so confirm current details before you rely on them.

How long you can stay and the rules
A visit visa is a short stay, usually up to 30 days, with an extension possible. This table explains the stay, extension, and overstay rules for Indian travellers.

Source: Jordan Ministry of Interior and Jordan Pass (jordanpass.jo) guidance, current for 2026. A standard tourist visa allows up to 30 days, extendable by up to 60 additional days if you register at a police station within 30 days, free if done on time. The Jordan Pass is valid for 12 months from purchase and about two weeks after the first scan. Overstaying leads to a daily fine of about 1.5 dinars. Rules can change.
The visit visa is for short stays, not for settling. If you want to work or stay longer, a separate work visa or residence permit is needed. We explain the rules and the right path for your plans.
What officers look for, and refusal reasons
A Jordan visit is smooth when you show a genuine short trip, enough funds, valid insurance, and the right document for your entry point. Knowing what officers check helps you prepare.
Common reasons for problems include incomplete or inconsistent documents, weak financial proof, no confirmed return ticket or accommodation, missing travel insurance, an unclear purpose, or arriving at a border that does not issue a visa without a pre-arranged visa or eVisa. Incorrect information on the eVisa form is also a frequent cause. Many cases can be reapplied or corrected with a stronger file.
A Jordan visit visa is usually arranged through the Jordan Pass, which waives the tourist visa fee of about 40 dinars for a stay of at least three nights and includes entry to over 40 attractions, or through the online eVisa or the standard tourist visa. There is no general visa-free entry for Indians, travel insurance is now required, a printed copy is needed at the border, and the entry point decides whether a visa is issued there. It allows a stay usually up to 30 days and never allows paid work.

Fees, stay periods, border rules, and the Jordan Pass conditions are set by the Jordan authorities and can change at any time. A visa does not guarantee entry.
Meeting the criteria improves your chances, but the final decision rests with the Jordan authorities and the border officer. We give you a realistic view and help you choose and prepare the strongest route.
