Discover visa requirements for your trip
Swiss citizens need a visa for Jordan. It is obtained online, most commonly through the official JordanPass (jordanpass.jo), before departure.
This guide is for Swiss travellers planning a tourist trip to Jordan. The most common route is the JordanPass, the official online offer that combines the tourist visa with entry to many sites, to be bought before arrival. A visa on arrival also exists at some entry points; the passport must be valid for at least 6 months, and the exact fee should be confirmed on the official source.
Do you need a visa for Jordan?
Yes: Swiss travellers need a visa to enter Jordan for tourism. The recommended option is the JordanPass, purchased online before departure, which includes the entry visa. A visa on arrival may also be issued at some entry points. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months.
How and where to apply
Swiss applicants buy the JordanPass online, from Switzerland, on the official portal jordanpass.jo before travelling. You choose the package, pay by card and receive a document to present to immigration on arrival. Keep a printed and digital version.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Swiss passport valid for at least 6 months with blank pages, plus proof of accommodation and a return or onward ticket. The amount and conditions of the JordanPass (notably the minimum length of stay required for the visa fee waiver) are not guaranteed here: check them on jordanpass.jo before paying.
Processing time and practical tips
The JordanPass is usually issued quickly after payment, but plan ahead to cover any surprises. Check the conditions on the minimum length of stay to benefit from the visa fee waiver. Keep your pass accessible at the border and at the included tourist sites.
Common mistakes
Buy the pass only on the official portal jordanpass.jo and beware of sites imitating the offer. Make sure you meet the required length-of-stay condition, otherwise the visa waiver may not apply. Finally, check your passport validity (at least 6 months) before purchasing.
