India to Jordan visa requirements

Indian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Jordan. The simplest route is a single-entry visa on arrival (40 JOD, 30-day stay) at Queen Alia International Airport. An eVisa via the official MOI portal is also available, and the Jordan Pass waives the visa fee entirely if you stay 3 or more nights. Jordan is not visa-free for Indian citizens, but it is one of the easiest paid-entry destinations in the region. An Indian ordinary passport holder can obtain a visa on arrival (VOA) at Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) and Aqaba for a fee of 40 JOD, granting a single entry and a 30-day stay (extendable to up to 6 months at a local police station). The same outcome can be pre-arranged online through Jordan's official Ministry of Interior eVisa portal (eservices.moi.gov.jo), which is useful for avoiding airport queues. The most cost-effective option for genuine tourists is the Jordan Pass: bought online before arrival, it waives the entry visa fee completely provided you spend at least 3 consecutive nights in Jordan, and it bundles entry to Petra and 40+ other sites. Jordan is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. A passport valid for at least 6 months with 2 blank pages, a confirmed return ticket and proof of accommodation are required.
