Vietnamese Passport Holders Are No Longer a Restricted Nationality for Jordan: What This Means for Jordan Tours ?
Jordan has taken a major step toward strengthening tourism ties with Southeast Asia. As of 19 August 2025, Vietnamese passport holders are officially no longer considered a restricted nationality for entry into Jordan. This update simplifies travel procedures significantly and opens the door for smoother Jordan tours for Vietnamese travelers, whether traveling individually or in groups.
This change is especially important for tour operators, travel agents, and pilgrims planning cultural, religious, and leisure trips to Jordan.
The new policy has been confirmed by several official Jordanian government and national media sources:
Ministry of Interior – Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

These announcements officially confirm that Vietnamese nationals are now treated as non-restricted, similar to travelers from the USA, UK, and European countries.
Being classified as a non-restricted nationality means:
No prior security approval is required
No pre-arranged visa authorization is needed
Entry procedures are simpler and faster
Travelers are eligible for visa on arrival under standard Jordanian regulations
This is a major improvement compared to previous procedures and makes Jordan a far more accessible destination for Vietnamese travelers.
Recent policy changes in 2025 have made the process easier: Vietnamese travelers can now obtain visas without prior approval from the Jordanian Ministry of Interior.
Vietnamese passport holders are now eligible for visa on arrival at Jordanian border points, including Queen Alia International Airport.
For tour groups booking through a licensed Jordanian travel agency, the visa can be:
Arranged in advance via an official visa manifest
Issued free of charge, provided standard conditions are met
Typical conditions include:
Staying at least two consecutive nights in Jordan
Booking through a licensed and certified Jordanian travel agency
Submission of passport details in advance
Airport meet-and-assist service by an authorized representative
This process ensures smooth, fast, and stress-free entry into Jordan.
Vietnamese citizens now have multiple ways to get a Jordanian entry visa:
You can apply for a Jordan e-Visa online before traveling using the official Jordan e-visa platform.
You’ll need to upload required documents (passport scan, photo, itinerary, etc.) and pay the visa fee online.
Vietnamese visitors are now eligible to obtain a visa on arrival at major entry points (airports and most land borders) without pre-approval.
While Jordan offers an eVisa system, applying for an eVisa is no longer necessary for Vietnamese travelers under this updated policy.
The eVisa involves an additional cost, whereas:
Visa on arrival is simpler
Often free for eligible tour groups
Handled directly by licensed local tour operators
For this reason, visa on arrival is now considered the recommended option for Vietnamese travelers visiting Jordan.
Also eVisa is possible too , so whether visa on arrival or eVisa both are possible .
Based on current regulations and on-the-ground experience:
There are no known cases of Vietnamese travelers being denied entry under this policy
Vietnamese travelers are processed the same way as travelers from non-restricted countries
Entry is especially smooth when traveling with a certified Jordanian tour operator
This policy change makes it easier than ever to plan:
Cultural and historical tours
Biblical and pilgrimage tours
Leisure tours to Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea, and Aqaba
Tailor-made group tours and FIT programs
Jordan is now a highly accessible, safe, and welcoming destination for Vietnamese travelers.
