Thailand to Jordan visa requirements

Q: Is Thailand exempt from the Jordan visa fee?

No. Only a few nationalities (such as Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and South Africa) are fully fee-exempt. Thai travelers must pay the visa fee unless they use a Jordan Pass and stay at least two nights.

Q: Should I get an eVisa or just a visa on arrival?

Both work. Visa on arrival is simplest for a typical short trip. An eVisa, applied online roughly three business days ahead, gives advance confirmation and can reduce queueing on arrival.

Q: How does the Jordan Pass help?

The Jordan Pass waives the visa fee entirely and includes entry to Petra and many other sites, provided you stay a minimum of two consecutive nights (three days) in Jordan.

Q: How long can I stay in Jordan?

The standard tourist visa allows a stay of up to 30 days from entry. Extensions are possible through a local police station for longer stays.

Q: Does Jordan use the Schengen rules or ETIAS?

No. Jordan is not part of the Schengen area or the EU, so the Schengen 90/180-day rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering Jordan.

Yes, a Thailand ordinary passport holder needs a visa for Jordan, but it can be obtained as a visa on arrival (40 JOD, single entry, 30-day stay) at Queen Alia International Airport and major land/sea borders. An eVisa is also available online before travel, and the Jordan Pass can waive the visa fee for visitors staying at least two nights. Thailand is not on Jordan's visa-exemption list (which includes a small set such as Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and South Africa), so Thai citizens require a visa. However, Thailand is among the 120+ nationalities eligible for a visa on arrival, so most short-stay tourists simply pay 40 JOD at the airport or land border for a single-entry, 30-day visa. The same entry can be pre-arranged as an eVisa (recommended if you want certainty before flying), and the visa fee is waived entirely for travelers who buy the Jordan Pass and stay a minimum of two consecutive nights. Passports must be valid at least six months beyond the intended stay, and proof of onward travel may be requested. Jordan is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
