  • Guests arriving through a designated Jordanian tour operator with a government certified tour guide are exempted from all visa charges, provided the group arrives and departs together as well as stay a minimum of 2 nights in Jordan. 2 nights does not mean / follow hotel nights but it follows dates of stamps of arrival and departure which must be 3 days / 2 nights based on stamped dates only 
  • Pro-tip: If you're eligible for visa upon arrival, consider purchasing the Jordan Pass to save money and time during your trip to Jordan! The Pass offers entry to 36 tourism attractions including Petra, Jerash and Wadi Rum and waives the visa fee, know more about Jordan Pass 
  • All passports must be valid for at least 6 months from arrival date to Jordan
  • Arriving / departing stamps while crossing through borders between Jordan and Israel are not printed on passports, instead a separate paper will be stamped and that is because many Muslim and Middle Eastern countries set difficulties for passports holding Israeli stamps or Jordanian stamps showing crossing in / out of Israel, you better notify the immigration officer while crossing not to stamp the passports just to be on the safe side.
