Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit JO?

Finnish passport holders need a visa for Jordan, but it is easy to get. The standard route is a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and major land/sea borders for 40 JOD (single entry, 30-day stay). You can also apply for an eVisa in advance through Jordan's Ministry of Interior portal, or buy a Jordan Pass before arrival, which waives the visa fee entirely if you stay at least two nights. Finland (ordinary passport) is not on Jordan's visa-exempt list, so a tourist visa is required. Jordan offers three convenient channels for Finnish citizens: (1) visa on arrival, the most common option, available at Queen Alia International Airport (Amman), the Sheikh Hussein/King Hussein northern bridge, and the Wadi Araba/Aqaba crossing, costing 40 JOD for a single-entry 30-day stay; (2) an eVisa applied for online before travel via Jordan's official Ministry of Interior eVisa portal, typically approved within 1-3 business days; and (3) the Jordan Pass, a tourist bundle (from 70 JOD) that includes the visa fee waiver and admission to over 40 attractions including Petra, provided you stay a minimum of two nights. Jordan is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. The passport must be valid for at least six months beyond arrival with at least one blank page. The Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs advises confirming entry rules with Jordanian authorities and ensuring six months of passport validity.
