Step-by-Step Application Process

Check eligible entry points

Visa-on-arrival is normally limited to international airports and a few land borders in Jordan; verify your specific entry point qualifies before booking flights.

Bring the required cash and documents

Most VoA counters accept USD or EUR cash only and reject cards for the visa fee. Carry exact small denominations, a passport photo and your printed return itinerary.

Apply at the visa counter on arrival

Hand in your passport, photo, completed arrival card and fee at the dedicated visa-on-arrival desk before joining the regular immigration queue. Processing is normally 15–30 minutes.

Required Documents

—Passport from United Kingdom valid at least 6 months beyond entry
—Visa-on-arrival fee in USD or EUR cash (small denominations)
—One recent passport-style colour photo
—Confirmed return or onward flight ticket
—Hotel reservation or invitation letter from a host
—Proof of sufficient funds for the duration of stay
—Completed arrival/landing card (handed out on the plane)

Important Tips

•Carry the exact fee in small bills — counters rarely give change in the visa currency.
•Pre-fill the arrival card on the plane to avoid queueing twice at the counter.
•Check the maximum stay granted at the border; extensions usually require leaving and re-entering.
•Some Jordan airports have an electronic VoA pre-form online — completing it shaves 10+ minutes off the queue.

Easiest Way to Get It

Pre-fill any online arrival form, carry the visa fee in clean USD bills and a passport photo, and use the visa-on-arrival lane straight off the plane.

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

Cultural Etiquette

Greetings are warm and long; hospitality is a core value, often involving tea or coffee—accepting it is polite; dress conservatively (shoulders and knees covered) especially in conservative areas; use the right hand for eating.

Internet & Connectivity

Mobile internet (Zain, Orange, Umniah) is reliable in cities and major tourist areas like Petra; 4G is widespread; free Wi-Fi is common in hotels and cafes, but can be limited in remote parts of Wadi Rum.
