How to Apply for a Visa to Jordan

Travelers from restricted nationalities must obtain visa approval in advance. This is usually arranged through an authorized Jordanian tour operator, such as Jordan Horizons Tours.

Our team applies for the visa on your behalf through the Jordanian Ministry of Interior and manages the process from document collection to official submission.

Required Documents

  • Clear passport copies for all travelers, valid for at least 6 months.
  • Confirmed travel dates and flight or border-crossing details.
  • Complete tour package details, including itinerary, transportation, hotels, and guide arrangements where applicable.

Once your documents are received, we submit the application officially for review and approval.

Jordan Visa Cost

  • Individual travelers and small groups of 1–6 persons: a non-refundable visa fee applies once the application is submitted.
  • Groups of 7 or more travelers: visa fees may be waived when booking a full tour package through Jordan Horizons Tours.

Visa fees are paid to the relevant government authority and are non-refundable once processing begins, even if the visa is refused.

Visa Processing Time

Visa approval usually takes 7 to 14 working days, depending on nationality, public holidays, and government processing time.

We strongly recommend submitting your documents at least three weeks before your intended arrival in Jordan.

Visa Approval or Refusal

If Approved

You will receive a visa reference number or official confirmation issued by the Jordanian Ministry of Interior. This should be presented upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport or the relevant land or sea border.

If Refused

The visa fee remains non-refundable, according to government regulations. Our team carefully checks the application requirements to help reduce the risk of refusal.

Booking Requirements

To apply through Jordan Horizons Tours, travelers must book a complete Jordan tour package. This should include:

  • Private transportation with a licensed driver.
  • Professional guide, if requested or required.
  • Hotel accommodation, arranged by us or independently by the traveler.
  • Meet & Assist service upon arrival at the airport, border, or seaport.

Important: Independent travelers who do not book a complete package, including transportation and Meet & Assist, cannot normally apply for a restricted-nationality visa through a local tour operator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a visa on arrival?

Travelers from restricted nationalities must obtain prior approval. A visa on arrival is not available for these nationalities.

Can I apply directly through a Jordanian embassy?

Some embassies may accept applications, but many travelers prefer applying through a licensed Jordanian tour operator because the process is more organized when connected with a complete tour package.

Can families or groups apply together?

Yes. Families and groups can usually be included in one group visa application.

  • A complete tour package is required for visa processing.
  • Visa approval is subject to Jordanian Ministry of Interior regulations.
