Entry conditions and exceptions
Check whether these rules affect your eligibility, application, or arrival.
Check the stay period printed on your permission
Jordan's Ministry of Interior says visitors entering through border crossings receive up to three months of temporary residence, except work-visa holders. Some official tourism pages still describe a one-month single-entry tourist visa. Visa validity and permitted residence are different; follow the shorter period printed on your issued visa or entry stamp, and confirm with the Ministry if you plan to stay longer than one month.
A qualifying residence permit may remove the prior-approval step
Jordan's Ministry says some nationals who normally need prior approval—including Arab nationals still subject to approval—may be treated under the entry rules for their country of residence if they hold a valid residence permit for at least four months. The stated residence locations include the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea and all European countries. This does not by itself establish visa-free entry or guarantee a visa on arrival; confirm the route with the Ministry before travel.
