Do US citizens need QR code to enter Jordan?

- Please note that having the QR code is a mandatory requirement to enter Jordan.



As of early 2026, U.S. citizens no longer require a specific health-related QR code to enter Jordan, a requirement that was phased out alongside most pandemic-era restrictions. Instead, entry relies on traditional visa procedures. U.S. citizens must have a passport valid for at least six months and a visa, which can be obtained on arrival at most ports of entry for 40 JOD (approx. $56 USD). A popular alternative is purchasing the Jordan Pass online before travel; it costs about $100 USD but waives the visa fee and includes entry to over 40 sites, including Petra. While the "Gateway2Jordan" QR code system is gone, it is always wise to keep digital copies of your itinerary and hotel bookings on your phone to show immigration officers if requested.
