Details that can change your plans
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.
