United Arab Emirates to Jordan visa requirements

UAE ordinary passport holders are visa-free for Jordan. UAE MoFA lists normal passports as visa-free, tourism stay as 90 days, passport validity as at least 6 months, and pre-travel website registration via Gateway2Jordan as required. UAE ordinary passport holders do not need a Jordanian visa for short visits. The current UAE MoFA Jordan page, last modified 11-06-2026, lists normal UAE passports as visa-free and gives 90 days for tourism, study, treatment, and work, with the period recalculated after departure. It also says the passport must be valid for at least 6 months and links Gateway2Jordan registration before travel. This is not the old 3-month-within-6-month wording, and the official pages checked do not support a two-blank-page requirement for UAE visa-free entry. Jordan Pass should not be presented as an optional convenience for UAE citizens: the official Jordan Pass FAQ says the pass is not available for Arabic nationality holders, and UAE citizens are already visa-free, so attractions should be handled through ordinary ticketing. UAE residence alone is not enough; non-UAE passport holders must check Jordan rules for their own nationality and residence status.
