You live in Austria on another passport?

Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing times and tips
No processing time is stated for this visa on arrival because the formalities take place at the point of entry. Travel with the most recent official information and keep your documents readily available. Before departure, confirm that your intended entry point offers a visa on arrival.
Before you fly, and at the border
- Passport validity: most countries require the passport to stay valid beyond the return date, and the margin required differs from one destination to the next. Check it on the official source, and count from your return, not from your departure.
- A visa is not a right of entry. The border officer decides, and may ask for a return ticket, an address or proof of funds even when everything is in order.
- Conditional exemptions exist: several countries waive the visa for holders of a valid visa or residence permit from a third country. This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it. The official page does.
- Minors travelling alone or with one parent are often asked for extra papers, typically a parental authorisation and the family record. Ask the post before booking.
- Overstaying is not a formality. It exposes you to a fine, to removal, and to an entry ban that can outlast the trip by years, including for the whole area when the destination belongs to one.
Common mistakes
Do not assume that documents, fees or payment arrangements are the same at every point of entry in Jordan. Avoid relying on outdated or unofficial information. Check the requirements with the official portal or the relevant embassy before departure.
