Do Australia passport holders need a visa to visit JO?

Q: How much does the Jordan visa cost?

The single-entry tourist visa is 40 JOD. A double-entry visa is 60 JOD and a multiple-entry visa is 120 JOD (the latter two are obtained from a Jordanian mission or via eVisa, not on arrival).

Q: Is the Jordan Pass worth it?

For most tourists staying at least 3 days (2 nights) and visiting Petra, yes. The Jordan Pass (70-80 JOD) waives the 40 JOD tourist visa fee and bundles Petra entry plus 40+ attractions, usually saving money overall.

Q: Can I get a visa on arrival at the King Hussein Bridge?

No. Visa on arrival is not issued at the King Hussein Bridge (Allenby crossing). If entering there, you must hold a pre-approved eVisa or a visa arranged in advance.

Q: How long can I stay in Jordan as a tourist?

The standard single-entry visa allows a stay of 30 days (one month). If you want to stay longer, you must apply for an extension at a local police station before your visa expires.

Q: Where is the official Jordan eVisa applied for?

The official eVisa is applied for through the Jordan Ministry of Interior portal at eservices.moi.gov.jo (or the MOI mobile app). Be cautious of third-party sites that charge extra service fees.

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.

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.

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.
