Do I need a visa for Jordan from Australia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Australian travellers need a visa for Jordan, obtained online through the official e-Visa or the JordanPass. The process is completed before departure.
Jordan requires Australian nationals to hold a visa, which can be requested online either via the JordanPass or the official e-Visa portal. The JordanPass often bundles the tourist visa with entry to sites such as Petra, making it very convenient. Your passport must be valid for at least six months after entry.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Australian citizens must obtain a visa to enter Jordan for tourism. The most common solution is the JordanPass, bought online before travel, which serves as the entry visa. A standard e-Visa or a visa on arrival also exist, but the JordanPass remains the best-value option for tourists.
How and where to apply
The application is made online at jordanpass.jo for the JordanPass, or on the Ministry of Interior's official e-Visa portal. The Australian traveller chooses a package, enters their passport details and pays by card. The document received by email must be shown on arrival; no visit to a Jordanian embassy is required.
Documents & fees
Prepare a passport valid six months beyond entry, a stay address and a return ticket. The JordanPass price varies with the number of days planned at Petra; the exact amount and conditions appear on the official portal at the time of purchase, to be checked before paying.
Processing & tips
Buy your JordanPass a few days before departure and print it, as it is checked at immigration. To benefit from the visa-fee waiver, the JordanPass generally must be bought before arrival and the stay must exceed a minimum length: read the conditions carefully. Also keep a digital copy of the document.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is buying the JordanPass after arrival, which can void the visa waiver. Beware of unofficial sites: only jordanpass.jo and the Ministry of Interior portal are authoritative. Finally, check the minimum stay length required for the pass to cover your visa fees.
