Netherlands to Jordan visa requirements

Yes, Dutch (Netherlands) passport holders need a visa for Jordan, but it is easy to obtain. The simplest route is a visa on arrival (40 JOD) issued at most airports and land borders. You can also apply online for an eVisa in advance, or — if you will visit tourist sites — buy a Jordan Pass before arrival, which waives the entry visa fee entirely for stays of three days or more. Netherlands ordinary passport holders are not visa-exempt for Jordan and Jordan is not part of the Schengen area, so no 90/180 or ETIAS rule applies here. For a short tourist visit, Dutch travelers have three practical channels. (1) Visa on arrival: a single-entry, one-month visa costing 40 JOD, granted at most international airports and land crossings — but NOT at the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge crossing from the West Bank. (2) eVisa: applied for in advance through Jordan's Ministry of Interior e-services portal, useful if you enter via a crossing without VoA or simply want certainty before travel. (3) Jordan Pass: an official tourism product bought online before arrival that bundles entry to Petra and 40+ sites AND waives the tourist entry visa fee, provided you stay a minimum of two nights (three days). For most leisure travelers the Jordan Pass is the best value because the cheapest tier (70 JOD) costs only 30 JOD more than the standalone visa yet includes Petra (50 JOD on its own). Passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay with two blank pages, and proof of onward/return travel and accommodation may be requested. Always use only official sites — moi.gov.jo for the eVisa and jordanpass.jo for the Jordan Pass — to avoid third-party markups.
