Do China passport holders need a visa to visit JO?

Visa on arrival JOD 40 for Chinese tourists, or pre-approval via embassy. Chinese passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) or other major entry points for JOD 40 (approximately USD 56). The visa on arrival is single-entry, valid 1 month, extendable up to 3 months at the local police station. Alternatively, Chinese travellers can apply at the Jordanian embassy in Beijing or consulate in Shanghai for a pre-approved visa. The Jordan Pass — a combined visa, sightseeing pass, and Petra ticket — costs JOD 70-80 (depending on Petra days included) and waives the JOD 40 visa fee for stays over 3 nights. Royal Jordanian operates direct flights from Beijing to Amman, with Cathay Pacific, Etihad, and Emirates offering one-stop service via Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Main attractions: Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea, Jerash. Travel for tourism, business, family visits; work and longer-term residence require regular Jordanian visa.
