What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry
  • Completed arrival card, usually distributed on the flight or at the border
  • Return or onward ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking)
  • Jordan Pass printout (optional) if you want the visa fee waived - requires at least 3 nights in Jordan and a visit to Petra
  • No visa photo required at the standard visa-on-arrival counter
  • Biometrics (photo, sometimes fingerprints) are taken at passport control on arrival

Visa types

  • Single-entry Tourist Visa on Arrival: 30 days, extendable at local police stations for a longer stay with registration, fee JOD 40
  • Multiple-entry Visa: for travelers needing several entries within a validity period, arranged in advance through the embassy, higher fee
  • Jordan Pass Visa (fee-waived): combines the visa and site-entry fees, including Petra, for visitors staying a minimum of 3 nights, purchased online before travel
  • Business Visa: requires a local sponsor or invitation letter, arranged via the Jordanian embassy or a local company

Visa on arrival

  • Available at Queen Alia International Airport (Amman), other international airports, and most land border crossings
  • Steps: present passport and arrival card at the visa counter before passport control, pay the fee, receive a visa stamp
  • Fee: JOD 40 (about USD 56), payable in Jordanian dinar or major foreign currencies including euros at most counters
  • If holding a Jordan Pass, present the QR code or printout instead of paying - the fee is waived
  • Processing at the counter typically takes a few minutes per traveler

Fees & processing time

  • Standard visa-on-arrival fee: JOD 40 (about USD 56) per entry
  • Jordan Pass: packages start around JOD 70-80 depending on the number of Petra visit days, replacing rather than adding to the visa fee
  • Processing time: a few minutes at the airport counter
  • Extension (registration) fee at a local police station after 30 days: minimal, often free for the first extension, processed the same day
  • Total typical cost: JOD 40 standard, or the Jordan Pass price if chosen instead

Tips for Germany travelers

  • Buy the Jordan Pass online before departure if visiting Petra - it saves money and waives the visa fee entirely
  • Register at a local police station if staying beyond 30 days to avoid overstay fines
  • Carry both euros and a small amount of Jordanian dinar in case a border post prefers local currency
  • If entering via a land crossing near Israel or the West Bank, check current eligibility rules in advance, as this crossing has different requirements
  • No bilateral issues currently affect German citizens traveling to Jordan
