Planning your dream trip to Jordan but unsure about the visa process? This professional guide by Jordan Horizons Tours explains how travelers from restricted nationalities can apply for a Jordan visa through an authorized local tour operator.
Our team helps with visa application submission, tour package arrangements, Meet & Assist service, and coordination with the relevant authorities to make your arrival in Jordan as smooth as possible.
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.
Once your documents are received, we submit the application officially for review and approval.
Visa fees are paid to the relevant government authority and are non-refundable once processing begins, even if the visa is refused.
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.
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.
