Australia to Jordan visa requirements

Australian ordinary passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Jordan for short tourism. The standard fee is 40 JOD for a single-entry, 30-day (one month) stay at Queen Alia International Airport and most land crossings. An eVisa via the official Ministry of Interior portal and the Jordan Pass (which waives the visa fee for stays of 3+ nights) are also available. Australia is a visa-on-arrival eligible nationality for Jordan. A tourist arriving at Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) or most land border crossings can buy a single-entry visa for 40 JOD on the spot, valid for a one-month (30-day) stay. Travelers should note the King Hussein Bridge / Allenby crossing does NOT issue visa on arrival - arrivals there must hold a pre-approved eVisa or pre-arranged visa. The official eVisa is available at eservices.moi.gov.jo (Ministry of Interior), processed in roughly 1-3 business days. Many tourists instead buy the Jordan Pass (70-80 JOD) before arrival, which both waives the 40 JOD tourist visa fee (for stays of at least 3 days / 2 nights) and bundles entry to Petra plus 40+ attractions. Passport must be valid at least 6 months beyond arrival. This information is verified against the Jordan Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the Ministry of Interior eVisa portal referenced by Royal Jordanian, and the official Jordan Pass site, current as of 31 May 2026.

/02 — The process

How to apply

/01
Confirm your eligibility and entry point
Australian ordinary passport holders qualify for visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) and most land crossings. If you plan to enter via the King Hussein Bridge (Allenby) from the West Bank, you must arrange a visa or eVisa in advance - VOA is not issued there.
· Visa on arrival· Most ports of entry
/02
Check passport validity
Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of arrival and has at least one blank page for the entry stamp.
· 6 months validity
/03
Decide: visa on arrival, eVisa, or Jordan Pass
For a simple short trip, pay 40 JOD on arrival. If you want to skip border queues or are entering at the King Hussein Bridge, apply for an eVisa first. If you will stay 3+ days and visit Petra, the Jordan Pass is usually the best value as it waives the visa fee.
· 3 options
/04
Apply for an eVisa or Jordan Pass online (if chosen)
For the eVisa, use the official Ministry of Interior portal at eservices.moi.gov.jo. For the Jordan Pass, buy it at jordanpass.jo before arrival. Pay by card and save the confirmation/QR code.

/05
Arrive and complete immigration
At the airport or land border, present your passport. If using VOA, pay 40 JOD (cash JOD or card where accepted). If using an eVisa or Jordan Pass, show the printed/digital confirmation. Receive your entry stamp valid for a 30-day stay.

Extend if staying longer than 30 days
If you wish to stay beyond 30 days, register and apply for an extension at a local police station (Mudiriyat al-Amn) before your visa expires to avoid overstay fines.
