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 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.
