Do I need a visa for Jordan from China?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Chinese nationals need a visa to visit Jordan. The simplest route is the electronic visa, which many travellers bundle into the JordanPass that also covers entry to major tourist sites.
This guide is for travellers holding Chinese nationality who are planning a tourist trip to Jordan. As Chinese passport holders, they fall under the visa regime and must hold an authorisation before arrival. The process is handled mainly online, without a routine visit to the consulate.
Do you need a visa?
Yes: Chinese citizens are not among the visa-exempt nationalities and must obtain a visa to enter Jordan. For a short tourist stay, the electronic visa meets this requirement. Many Chinese travellers choose the JordanPass, which combines the tourist visa with admission to sites such as Petra.
How and where to apply
Applications are made online through the official JordanPass portal (jordanpass.jo) or the Jordanian electronic visa system. The Chinese traveller opens a file, enters their passport details and pays online. A visa on arrival is still possible at certain entry points, but applying online in advance is more predictable.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Chinese passport valid for at least six months, a compliant ID photo, your travel details (dates, accommodation) and an online payment method. The exact visa or JordanPass amount is not set out here: check the official portal for the current fee before paying.
Processing and tips
Processing time depends on the channel chosen and is not guaranteed; start the application several days before departure. Save and print the confirmation you receive, as it may be requested both at boarding and at the Jordanian border post.
Common mistakes
The most common mistakes are a passport with insufficient validity, a name or passport number that does not exactly match the document, and relying on a visa on arrival without checking eligibility. Also verify any health requirements (yellow fever depending on your itinerary) with the official source.
