Our guide to the Jordan visa from France
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.

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.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in France on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in France 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 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.
Before you fly, and at the border
Passport validity, border checks, minors, overstays: the rules common to every trip are gathered on our travel tips page. Formalities before you leave
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.
