India to Jordan visa requirements

Q: How much does the Jordan visa cost for Indians?

The visa on arrival (or eVisa) fee is 40 JOD, about USD 56. The fee is waived if you buy a Jordan Pass and stay at least 3 nights.

Q: What is the Jordan Pass and is it worth it?

The Jordan Pass is an online product (from about 70 JOD) that waives the entry visa fee for stays of 3+ consecutive nights and includes entry to Petra and 40+ attractions, making it cheaper than paying the visa fee plus separate site tickets.

Q: How long can Indians stay in Jordan on this visa?

The visa on arrival allows a 30-day stay on a single entry. It can be extended at a local police station up to a total of 6 months.

Q: Can I get the visa on arrival or should I apply online first?

Indian passport holders can get the visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport or Aqaba without prior application. Applying for the eVisa or buying a Jordan Pass in advance can save time at the border.

Q: Is Jordan part of the Schengen area?

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

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.
