With our help, you’ll soon be visiting the vast Roman ruins of Jerash or exploring the other-worldly landscape of Wadi Rum. We’ve focused on what you really need to know so that you can apply for your Jordanian visa with ease. Let’s get started.
Do Pakistani citizens need a Jordan Visa?
Pakistani citizens need to obtain a visa before traveling to Jordan.
You can get a Jordan Visa on Arrival, which is a single-entry visa that’s valid for 30 days, if you have one of the following:
-
a residence permit from one of the following countries that is valid for at least 6 months after your arrival date in Jordan: Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Oman, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, South Korea, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, or USA.
-
A visa from the USA or a Schengen member state that is valid for at least 6 months after your arrival date in Jordan.
iVisa tip: Instead of waiting until you land in Jordan to get a visa on arrival, skip the queues >at the airport and apply online. It will take you less than 10 minutes.
If you’re not eligible for a Jordan Visa on Arrival (or intend to stay in Jordan for longer than a month), you’ll have to apply for a visa online.
