Do they stamp your passport in Jordan?

Will the Jordanian Authorities stamp my passport? When entering or exiting Jordan, your passport will normally get stamped. The only exception to this is King Hussein Bridge, where your exit stamp will automatically be on an extra piece of paper.



In 2026, Jordan continues to provide physical passport stamps for most international travelers, though the process has become more integrated with digital systems. Upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) or land borders like the Sheikh Hussein Bridge, immigration officers will typically place a large, rectangular entry stamp in your passport. If you have purchased a Jordan Pass in advance—which is the "gold standard" for tourists as it waives the 40 JOD visa fee—the officer will scan your digital or printed QR code before stamping. For those arriving via the Aqaba Special Economic Zone (ASEZA), you may receive a specific "Aqaba" stamp which grants a free visa under certain conditions. While some countries are moving toward entirely paperless "e-gates," Jordan still values the physical stamp as a primary record of entry and exit. It is important to ensure your stamp is clear and legible, as you will need to present it when checking into hotels or if stopped for a routine security check by the tourist police during your travels to Petra or Wadi Rum.
