Travel Info
Travel tips of Jordan
VISA/PASSPORT
A passport and a visa are required for both US and Canadian citizens. Jordan issues visas to Americans for a fee at most international ports of entry and at most international land border crossings upon arrival. Processing generally takes 2-3 working days along with a visa processing fee of approximately $50 a for single-entry visa, $70 for a double-entry visa and $130 for a multiple-entry visa. However, visas are not issued upon arrival at the land border crossing between Israel and Jordan known as the King Hussein Bridge crossing. (On the Israeli side, this crossing is known as the Allenby Bridge.) U.S. citizens must already be in possession of a valid visa to Jordan or have a special entry permit from the Jordanian Ministry of Interior to enter Jordan at this crossing. Proof of yellow fever immunization is required if arriving from an infected area. Some HIV/AIDS entry restrictions exist for visitors to and foreign residents of Jordan. Jordan does not permit entry or residency for foreign nationals with HIV/AIDS. Travelers known to have HIV are denied entry at ports of entry, including land border crossings.
Please note obtaining a visa is your responsibility. These requirements change often and therefore it is best that you check with the Embassy of Jordan for the most up to date visa information.
HEALTH
Health insurance is required. Medical facilities are poor quality and not widespread. We recommend that you see a health-care provider who specializes in Travel Medicine. The doctor or health-care provider will determine what vaccinations and medication you will need, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, and planned activities.
