China to Jordan visa requirements

Chinese ordinary passport holders need a visa for Jordan. Use the Jordan eVisa before travel, a Jordan Pass e-visa if eligible, or visa on arrival at supported entry points; the standard single-entry visit visa costs JOD 40 and usually permits a 30-day stay. People's Republic of China ordinary passport holders are not visa-free for Jordan. Jordan's Ministry of Interior classifies countries not listed as restricted as not needing prior approval, and China is not on the restricted-country list checked on 21 June 2026. China Consular Service says Chinese citizens can apply online through Jordan's Ministry of Interior eVisa system or obtain a visa on arrival at Jordanian entry ports, but also warns that Chinese border control usually asks travelers departing China to already have a visa and that travelers using visa on arrival should hold return tickets. For predictability, apply for the eVisa before travel or buy an official Jordan Pass before arrival if visiting tourist sites and staying at least two nights / three days. A single-entry visit visa costs JOD 40; double-entry costs JOD 60; multiple-entry options are listed at JOD 120, JOD 200, and JOD 350 depending on validity. The usual stay is 30 days. Extensions must be arranged before expiry through the local police station or the Ministry of Interior / Borders and Foreigners Affairs channel; they are not automatic. Jordan Pass packages are JOD 70, JOD 75, and JOD 80, include more than 40 attractions, and waive the tourist entry visa fee only when bought before arrival and the traveler stays at least two nights (three days).
