- Valid passport
- Completed application form
- Compliant passport photo
- Proof of accommodation
- Return or onward ticket
- Proof of sufficient funds
Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Jordan before you apply.
Documents and fees
The documents to present, any fees and the available payment methods should be confirmed before departure through the official portal or the relevant embassy. If cash payment is accepted at the point of entry, having the exact amount may help with the process. Do not rely solely on unofficial information about documents or fees.

Where do you apply for a visa for Jordan from Germany?
A visa on arrival for Jordan is issued at the border post itself, at a counter placed before immigration control.
- Not every crossing issues it. Confirm that your specific airport or land border does before you book.
- The counter is reached after landing and before immigration. Follow the visa signs rather than the exit.
- The fee is usually paid on the spot, sometimes in cash and in a specific currency. Card is not guaranteed.
You live in Germany on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Germany but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does a visa for Jordan take?
A visa on arrival is issued at the counter of the entry point when you cross the border: there is no processing time to plan for before departure.
Processing times and advice
The visa is requested on arrival, but the time spent at the counter can depend on passenger numbers and procedures applied locally. Allow time in your arrival plans and keep your documents easy to access. Check the official portal or the relevant embassy shortly before departure for current entry requirements.
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
A common mistake is assuming that every point of entry follows the same procedures without checking first. It is also best not to travel without confirming the required documents, any fees and the accepted payment method. Verify these points with the official portal or the relevant embassy before travelling.
