Passport biodata page copy; passport must be valid at least 6 months beyond intended stay with at least two blank pages.
Jordan requires passports to be valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended period of stay and to contain at least two blank pages. A clear color scan or photo of the biodata page is typically required for eāvisa and consular applications submitted via the MOI eāservices portal. Applicants from nationalities excluded from the eāvisa scheme must apply via Jordanian missions or specific MOI channels and will typically be asked for a clear passport copy. Applicants from nationalities excluded from visa on arrival must obtain a visit visa in advance via MOI eāservices or a Jordanian mission and will typically be asked for a clear passport copy. Border officers may inspect the passport and copies of supporting visas before granting visa on arrival. A clear color scan of the biodata page is mandatory for eāvisa applications submitted via the MOI eāservices portal.
Recent passport-style color photograph of the applicant with plain light background.
Online eāvisa applications require uploading a recent passport-sized photo; paper applications at embassies typically require one or two printed photos. Photo should be taken within the last 6 months and closely resemble the applicantās current appearance. Embassy applications for visaārequired nationalities usually request one or two printed photos attached to the form. Photo should be recent (within 6 months) and meet biometric standards.
Confirmed return or onward flight booking showing entry to and exit from Jordan (or onward destination) within the visa validity period.
Visitors are generally required to hold nonārefundable return or circle trip tickets, except for certain government workers continuing to Iraq. For eāvisa applications, a copy of the flight itinerary is commonly requested to demonstrate intended dates of stay and onward travel. Visitors are generally required to hold nonārefundable return or circle trip tickets; this is particularly scrutinized for higherārisk nationalities. Embassies may require a confirmed booking before issuing the visa; fully paid tickets are not always mandatory but are recommended. Visitors are generally required to hold nonārefundable return or circle trip tickets; this is particularly scrutinized for nationalities not eligible for visa on arrival.
Proof of accommodation in Jordan for the intended stay, such as hotel reservations or an invitation letter from a host with address and contact details.
Jordanian eāvisa guidance and embassy checklists typically require hotel bookings or a host invitation to show where the applicant will stay. For stays with friends or relatives, a signed invitation letter plus a copy of the hostās Jordanian ID or residence permit may be requested. Jordanian embassies commonly require hotel bookings or a notarized invitation from a Jordanian host for applicants from visaārequired countries. Host invitations may need to be accompanied by a copy of the hostās Jordanian ID or residence permit and contact phone number.
Completed Jordan visit visa application submitted via the MOI eāservices portal or embassy system, including all required data fields.
All new visit visa applications must now be submitted electronically through the Ministry of Interior eāservices platform; paper applications are no longer accepted for these services. Applicants must create an MOI eāservices account, complete the online form, and keep the electronic application number for any embassy visit or followāup. Applications for these nationalities must be lodged through Jordanian diplomatic missions or designated MOI channels using the electronic system; paperāonly submissions are no longer accepted. Additional questionnaires or securityārelated questions may be required during processing for these nationalities.
Evidence of sufficient funds to cover stay in Jordan, such as recent bank statements, salary slips, or sponsorship letter with bank evidence.
Although Jordan does not publish a fixed minimum balance, consulates typically expect to see stable income and enough funds to cover accommodation, transport and daily expenses for the requested stay. Sponsorship by a Jordanian resident or company may be accepted if accompanied by supporting financial documents and guarantee forms as requested by MOI.
Recommended
Travel or health insurance covering medical expenses for the duration of stay in Jordan.
Jordan does not universally mandate travel insurance for all visitors, but health insurance is recommended and may be required for certain visa types or during health emergencies. Some airlines or tour operators may require proof of medical coverage as a condition of carriage or package travel. Health insurance is recommended and may be requested by some embassies as part of the visa application for higherārisk nationalities. Coverage should ideally include emergency medical treatment and repatriation. Health insurance is recommended and may be requested by some embassies as part of the visa application for nationalities excluded from visa on arrival. Health insurance is recommended and may be requested for certain visa types or during health emergencies; applicants should check current MOI guidance before applying. Some thirdāparty eāvisa facilitators strongly recommend uploading proof of insurance to avoid questions at the border.
Proof of employment or study in the applicantās country of residence, such as employer letter, recent payslips, or student enrollment certificate.
Jordanian missions may request proof of ties to the country of residence (job, studies) to assess return intent, especially for higherārisk nationalities. Letters should be on official letterhead, signed, and indicate position, salary, and approved leave dates where applicable.

Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
In Amman, install the Vision City Bus (Amman Bus) app to plan routes and see real-time info; you can buy QR tickets in-app (bank card) or use a rechargeable bus card, which is often easier than hunting for the right cash fare.
2
If Petra is on your itinerary (especially with a few other paid sites like Jerash or Wadi Rum), the official Jordan Pass can be great value because it bundles entry to 40+ attractions-often cheaper than paying major entry fees separately.
3
In Amman (and most cities), use ride-hailing apps like Uber or Careem for transparent pricingāmany street taxis may not run the meter or will try to negotiate a tourist price, while apps show the fare upfront.
4
If Petra is on your plan, consider a 2-day ticket: for accommodated visitors, the official prices are 50 JOD (1 day) vs 55 JOD (2 days) vs 60 JOD (3 days). That extra day is a tiny add-on that lets you do the main trail early, then come back for a longer hike (e.g., Monastery) without rushing.
