France to Jordan visa requirements

French ordinary passport holders need a visa for Jordan. The recommended route is the official Jordan eVisa (40 JOD single-entry), though visa-on-arrival at major airports and the visa-fee-waiving Jordan Pass are also available. France is not on Jordan's visa-exemption list for ordinary passports, so a visa is required for tourism. French travelers have three practical channels: (1) the official Jordan eVisa applied for online through the Ministry of Interior e-services portal before travel; (2) a visa-on-arrival stamped at Queen Alia International Airport and other major entry points; and (3) the Jordan Pass, a tourist product that bundles attraction tickets and waives the tourist entry visa fee provided it is bought before arrival and the visitor stays at least two nights (three days). The standard single-entry tourist visa costs 40 JOD and grants a stay of up to 30 days (extendable), valid for entry within a set window. The eVisa is recommended because it confirms entry eligibility before departure and avoids airport queues. The Jordan Pass is the most cost-effective option for travelers visiting Petra and other sites, since it replaces both the visa fee and entrance fees. Jordan is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route. A passport valid at least six months beyond entry is required.
