Do Hong Kong passport holders need a visa to visit JO?
Hong Kong SAR passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival in Jordan. The official Hong Kong Immigration Department classifies Jordan as visa-on-arrival for HKSAR passports (14 days). At Jordanian entry points a single-entry tourist visa costs 40 JOD (about US$56) and allows a stay of up to 30 days. An online eVisa is also available, and the Jordan Pass waives the visa fee for stays of 3+ nights. A Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport holder traveling to Jordan for tourism does not enjoy fully visa-free entry but can obtain a visa on arrival, which is the standard and most common channel. The Hong Kong Immigration Department's official "Visa-free Access or Visa-on-arrival for HKSAR passport" list records Jordan under visa-on-arrival with a 14-day duration. In practice the visa-on-arrival issued at Jordanian entry points (Queen Alia International Airport, the King Hussein/Sheikh Hussein Bridge and Wadi Araba crossings, subject to current rules) is a single-entry tourist visa costing 40 JOD (roughly US$56) and valid for a stay of up to 30 days. Jordan is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers may alternatively apply for an eVisa through Jordan's official Ministry of Interior portal (40 JOD single entry, typically processed in 1-3 business days), or buy a Jordan Pass before arrival, which waives the visa fee entirely if they stay at least three consecutive nights and bundles entry to Petra, Jerash, Wadi Rum and other sites. The passport must be valid for at least six months on arrival. Travelers should confirm current fees and which land borders issue visa on arrival, as cross-border policy with the West Bank/Israel side can change.
