Germany to Jordan visa requirements

Q: How much is the Jordan visa for Germans?

A single-entry visa on arrival or eVisa costs 40 JOD for a one-month stay. The Jordan Pass costs from 70 JOD and waives this fee while adding free entry to attractions.

Q: Is the Jordan Pass worth it for a German tourist?

For most tourists, yes. It bundles the visa-fee waiver with free entry to Petra and 40+ sites, and pays off if you stay at least three days and visit Petra.

Q: How long can I stay in Jordan on the tourist visa?

The standard single-entry visa allows a stay of up to one month. Longer stays require registration and extension at a local police station in Jordan.

Q: Can I get the visa on arrival at the airport?

Yes. Visa on arrival is available at Queen Alia International Airport (Amman), Aqaba (King Hussein) Airport, and major land borders such as Sheikh Hussein Bridge and Wadi Araba.

Q: Does Jordan use the Schengen rules or ETIAS?

No. Jordan is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180-day rule and ETIAS do not apply to entry into Jordan.

German ordinary passport holders need a visa for Jordan, but it is easy to obtain. A single-entry tourist visa on arrival costs 40 JOD at Queen Alia (Amman) and Aqaba airports and major land borders. Alternatively, buy the Jordan Pass online before departure (from 70 JOD) which waives the visa fee if you stay at least three days, or apply for an eVisa online in advance. Germany is not on Jordan's visa-exempt list, so a visa is required, but Germans qualify for visa on arrival (VoA) at all major ports of entry as well as an online eVisa. A single-entry visa for a one-month stay costs 40 JOD, payable in cash or usually by card at the entry counter. For tourism, the official Jordan Pass is the most popular and cost-effective route: purchased online before arrival (from 70 JOD), it bundles the visa fee waiver with free entry to Petra and over 40 attractions, provided you stay a minimum of three days (two nights) in the country. Passports must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry, and proof of onward travel may be requested. The eVisa, launched in 2023, processes in roughly 1-3 business days. Jordan is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
