Visa on Arrival via Allenby Bridge – Exclusive Service for Our Guests

Normally, visas on arrival are not available at the Allenby Bridge. However, Jordan Horizons Tours offers an exclusive Meet & Assist service, which allows our guests to receive a visa on arrival.

If staying 2 or more consecutive nights in Jordan, you may qualify for a free visa.
We handle all paperwork in advance, including your:

  • Passport and personal details

  • Accommodation and itinerary

  • Driver and vehicle information
    This information is submitted via a special “manifest” form, which authorizes our team to meet and assist you upon arrival.

Without this service, travelers must arrange their Jordan visa in advance, as visas are not issued on arrival at this border otherwise.

Exit Stamps & Visa Considerations

Exiting Jordan into Israel

If you entered Jordan via Queen Alia International Airport, you will have a visible entry stamp. If you then exit into Israel via the Allenby Bridge and do not return to Jordan, it may appear that you left Jordan unofficially.

To avoid this, you can request your Jordanian visa on a separate sheet of paper at the airport. While not guaranteed, this may help avoid issues with immigration officials.

Israeli Stamps at Allenby/King Hussein Bridge

Israeli authorities typically do stamp passports at this crossing.
You may politely request that they do not stamp your passport. If approved, you'll receive an entry/exit slip instead. It’s not guaranteed, but generally respected if requested clearly.
