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

1

Apply for Approval

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

2

Wait for Clearance

Security processing can take 2 to 4 weeks.

3

Travel to Jordan

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

Required Documents

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

Important Tips

  • β€’Do not travel to the Jordanian border without the printed MoI approval; you will be turned back immediately.
  • β€’If traveling by land via the Nasib/Jaber crossing, ensure your approval explicitly permits land entry.
  • β€’Male applicants between the ages of 18 and 45 generally face more intense security scrutiny and longer processing times.
  • β€’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.
