Do I need a visa for Jordan from France?

Discover visa requirements for your trip

In short

French travellers need a visa for Jordan, but they can arrange it online before departure, usually through the Jordan Pass or the official e-Visa portal.

French citizens travelling to Jordan for tourism must hold an entry visa. The most common route is to buy the Jordan Pass online, which includes the tourist visa and access to many sites such as Petra; an e-Visa or a visa on arrival are also available. Check the exact fee and conditions on the official portal before booking.

Do you need a visa?

Yes. French passport holders are not exempt and must obtain a visa to enter Jordan. The passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of entry.

How and where to apply

From France, the most convenient route is to buy the Jordan Pass online at jordanpass.jo before travelling: it covers the tourist visa fee and entry to major sites. An e-Visa or a visa on arrival at Amman airport are alternatives depending on your itinerary.

Documents and fees

Have a passport valid for 6 months, your travel details and a card for payment ready. The Jordan Pass price and the visa validity are not confirmed here: rely on the amounts shown on the official portal at the time of purchase.

Processing and tips

Buy your Jordan Pass a few days before departure and keep the confirmation (printed or on your phone) to show at immigration. The Jordan Pass usually requires a minimum length of stay for the visa to be waived, so read the conditions. Check that names match your passport exactly.

Common mistakes

Only buy the Jordan Pass on the official site, never through resellers that inflate prices. Do not confuse the Pass duration with the visa validity, and respect the required minimum length of stay. A passport with under 6 months of validity may lead to refused entry.
