Citizens of the United States of America must also pay a small fee for the Jordan Pass. This covers entry to over 40 attractions at a much lower cost than paying individually. It also includes a Jordan visa. The Jordan Pass fee can be paid via a debit or credit card.

As of early 2026, you can pay by credit or debit card for a Jordan Visa on Arrival at major entry points like Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) in Amman. Most immigration counters are now equipped with modern card readers that accept Visa and Mastercard. However, it is still a "best practice" to carry 40 Jordanian Dinars (JOD) in cash, just in case of technical issues with the card machines or network outages. If you are entering via land borders (such as from Israel or Saudi Arabia), the availability of card payment is much less reliable, and cash is often the only accepted method. To avoid the visa fee and the hassle of payment entirely, most travelers in 2026 opt for the Jordan Pass. If you purchase this pass online before you arrive and stay in Jordan for at least three nights, the 40 JOD visa fee is completely waived. The Jordan Pass can be paid for online via credit card and includes entry to over 40 attractions, including Petra, making it the most efficient and cost-effective way to handle your entry requirements.
