Luckily, few formalities need to be observed when departing Jordan: A departure tax of 10 JDs ($15) is paid at any border crossings except the airports. Syria: Coming to Jordan by road from Syria, you can cross into Jaber or Ramtha.

As of early 2026, the departure tax (exit fee) for Jordan is 10 Jordanian Dinars (JD), which is approximately $14 to $15 USD. For travelers leaving via an international airport, this fee is almost always included in the price of your airline ticket, meaning you won't need to pay anything at the counter. However, if you are departing Jordan via a land border (such as crossing into Israel or Saudi Arabia) or by sea from Aqaba, you must pay this 10 JD fee in cash to the immigration officers. It is a "pro-move" to keep a 10 JD bill set aside specifically for this purpose, as border stations may have limited ability to provide change in foreign currency. Note that some organized tour groups or "Jordan Pass" holders may have different exemptions, so always verify your specific itinerary details before arriving at the border.
