Do I need a visa for Jordan from Canada?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes, Canadian citizens need a visa for Jordan. The most advantageous option is the Jordan Pass, bought online at jordanpass.jo before departure, which includes the waiver of visa fees.
For a tourist trip to Jordan, Canadians need an entry authorization. The Jordan Pass, bought online from Canada on the official portal jordanpass.jo, combines the waiver of visa fees with access to sites such as Petra, provided you stay at least three nights in the country. A standard e-Visa also exists; check current rates and conditions on the official portals.
Do you need a visa for Jordan?
Yes. A Canadian passport does not allow visa-free entry to Jordan for tourism. Two routes exist: the Jordan Pass, which includes the tourist visa and entry to many sites, and the ordinary e-Visa. For most travellers visiting Petra, the Jordan Pass is the simplest and most economical.
How and where to apply
The Jordan Pass is bought online from Canada on the official portal jordanpass.jo; the e-Visa is applied for on the official Jordanian visa portal. You pay by card and receive a document to present to immigration on arrival. With the Jordan Pass, your visa is validated at the border post on presentation of the QR code, provided you have planned at least three nights on site.
Documents and fees
Bring a Canadian passport valid for at least 6 months beyond entry, your accommodation confirmation and a return or onward ticket. The Jordan Pass comes in several packages depending on the number of days planned at Petra; the e-Visa has its own fee. As the amounts are not guaranteed here, check them on jordanpass.jo and the official e-Visa portal before paying.
Processing time and practical tips
Buy your Jordan Pass or e-Visa a few days before departure and download the document as soon as you receive it. Check that your name and passport number match your passport exactly, as they are checked at entry. Keep the QR code accessible offline and respect the three-night rule to benefit from the visa waiver.
Common mistakes
Buy only on the official site jordanpass.jo: resellers charge unnecessary mark-ups. Do not leave Jordan before three nights if you rely on the Jordan Pass, or the visa fee may be claimed. Finally, do not confuse the Jordan Pass with the e-Visa: choose the package suited to your itinerary before paying.
