Do Syria Citizens Need a Visa for Jordan in 2026?

Visa Required

Syrian citizens MUST obtain prior security approval/visa to enter the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Due to regional security measures, Syrians cannot simply arrive at the border. You must apply for a visa through the Jordanian e-Visa portal (MOI) or have a host in Jordan (such as a relative or a certified travel agency) apply for your security clearance at the Ministry of Interior in Amman.

Step-by-Step Application Process

Apply for Approval

Submit your application online via the Jordanian Ministry of Interior (e-services) portal, or have your Jordanian host apply.

Wait for Clearance

Security processing can take 2 to 4 weeks.

Travel to Jordan

Print the approval document. Present it along with your passport at the border or airport.

Required Documents

—Syrian passport valid for at least 6 months
—Clear scan of the passport bio-page
—Printed Ministry of Interior Security Approval / e-Visa
—Proof of accommodation or host details in Jordan
—Sufficient funds (minimum 1,000 USD equivalent in cash)
—Personal identification card or Family book copy (Syrian ID)

Important Tips

•Do not travel to the Jordanian border without the printed MoI approval; you will be turned back immediately.
•If traveling by land via the Nasib/Jaber crossing, ensure your approval explicitly permits land entry.
•Male applicants between the ages of 18 and 45 generally face more intense security scrutiny and longer processing times.
•Syrian women married to Jordanian citizens, or those with first-degree Jordanian relatives, have a much faster approval process.

Easiest Way to Get It

Having a first-degree relative in Jordan or a reputable Jordanian travel agency apply for your clearance directly in Amman is the fastest and most reliable method.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
