Can you get a Jordan visa at the airport?

Yes. Jordan issues single entry visas to U.S. citizens upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and most international land border crossings.



Yes, most nationalities, including citizens of the US, UK, Canada, and the EU, can obtain a single-entry visa upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) in Amman. As of 2026, the cost for a standard 30-day single-entry visa is 40 Jordanian Dinars (approximately $56 USD). However, a much more cost-effective and popular option for travelers is the Jordan Pass. If you purchase the Jordan Pass online before you arrive and stay in Jordan for at least three nights, the 40 JOD visa fee is completely waived. Additionally, the pass includes entry to over 40 tourist sites, including Petra. To get your visa at the airport, you simply head to the immigration counters before reaching the passport control officers. You can pay by cash or credit card. Note that if you are entering Jordan via the King Hussein Bridge (Allenby Bridge) from Israel, visas on arrival are not issued there; you must have a pre-arranged visa or a Jordan Pass. For those flying directly into Amman or Aqaba, the process is streamlined and generally takes less than 20 minutes depending on the queue length.
