Jordan is a fascinating destination, rich in history and magnificent landscapes. The site of Petra is one of the must-sees during a stay in this Middle Eastern country. Before you go, however, you should check whether you need a visa to enter the country. This article explains the different visa options and the steps you need to take to make the most of this unique experience.
Visa on arrival: a practical option for certain countries
For nationals of certain countries, it is possible to obtain a visa on arrival in Jordan. This type of visa is generally issued for 30 days and can be extended on the spot with the relevant authorities if necessary.
Cost of visa on arrival and procedures to follow
The cost of a visa on arrival varies according to nationality and the bilateral agreements between Jordan and the country concerned. It generally varies between 40 and 60 Jordanian dinars. Travellers must have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months after the date on which they plan to leave Jordan, and must provide proof of leaving the country (e.g. a plane ticket).
eVisa: For greater peace of mind
The eVisa is available for certain nationalities and can be obtained before you leave on your trip. This means you can leave with peace of mind, having all the documents with you. It also saves you time when you arrive and when you're preparing for your trip, because you don't have to go to the embassy.
