Spain to Jordan visa requirements

Q: What is the Jordan Pass and should I buy it?

The Jordan Pass is an official tourism product from the Ministry of Tourism. Bought online before arrival, it waives your entry visa fee (for stays of at least two whole nights) and includes Petra plus 40+ attractions. For most tourists it is the most cost-effective option.

Q: How much is the visa on arrival?

40 JOD (about 56 USD) for a single-entry visa allowing up to a one-month stay. Pay at the airport or border. This fee is waived if you use a Jordan Pass with a 2+ night stay.

Q: Does the Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS apply to Jordan?

No. Jordan is not part of the Schengen area or the EU, so neither the Schengen short-stay rule nor ETIAS applies. Jordan operates its own visa-on-arrival and eVisa system.

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

The standard visa on arrival permits a stay of up to one month. If you want to stay longer, you must register at the local police/residency office before the visa expires to avoid overstay fines.

Q: Should I get an eVisa instead of a visa on arrival?

An eVisa from the Ministry of Interior portal is useful if you want pre-approval before travel; it typically processes in 1-3 business days. Otherwise the visa on arrival is straightforward, and the Jordan Pass is best if you plan to sightsee.

Spanish ordinary passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Jordan (40 JOD, single entry, 1-month stay). For tourists staying 2+ nights, buying the Jordan Pass before arrival waives the visa fee entirely and is the recommended route. An eVisa is also available online in advance. Jordan is not part of the Schengen area, so the EU 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply here. Spanish citizens are eligible for a Jordanian visa on arrival, issued at international airports and most land/sea borders for tourism. The standard single-entry visa on arrival costs 40 JOD and permits a stay of up to one month. Spain is not on Jordan's short list of fully visa-fee-exempt nationalities (South Africa, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, Vatican City), so a Spanish tourist must either pay the VOA fee, obtain an eVisa in advance, or use the Jordan Pass. The Jordan Pass, sold by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, is the most cost-effective option for sightseeing trips: when purchased before arrival and combined with a stay of at least two whole nights (three days), it waives the entry visa fee and bundles entry to Petra and 40+ attractions. The Ministry of Interior also operates an official eVisa portal for those who prefer pre-approval. Passports must be valid for at least six months from entry. Default tourist verdict: visa on arrival.
