Our guide to the Jordan visa from India
Yes, a visa is required for holders of a passport from India travelling to Jordan; it is issued on arrival at the airport or entry border post, upon payment of the fee at the visa counter.
For a tourist stay in Jordan, travellers from India obtain their visa on arrival, after presenting their passport and paying the fee at the counter. This guide gives neither the fee nor the length of stay granted: consult the Embassy of Jordan or an official Jordanian source before the trip to find out the current conditions.
Do you need a visa for Jordan?
Yes. Indian nationals need a visa to stay in Jordan, but it is obtained on the spot, on arrival by air or by land, at the counter reserved for visas. It is placed in the passport once the fee has been paid. Before departure, confirm the applicable conditions, including the fee, the length of stay and the entry points concerned, with the Jordanian authorities.
How much does a visa for Jordan cost from India?
The official fee for a visa for Jordan is not published in a source we can verify. Check the amount on the official portal before paying anything, third-party sites often add service fees on top.
What does a visa for Jordan really cost?
The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.
- Government feeNot published in a source we can verify
Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.
- Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top
Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.
We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.
What documents are required for a visa for Jordan?
The exact list for Jordan is not published in a source we can verify. Every short-stay tourist application is nonetheless built on the same core:
- 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
Bring a valid passport in good condition with blank pages, a return or onward ticket and the address or booking of your accommodation. The fee is paid at the counter; as the amount is not specified here, refer to the Embassy of Jordan or the relevant official Jordanian website. Carry cash as well as a bank card so that you can pay whatever method is accepted.
How to apply for a visa for Jordan from India
- 1Check before departure that your entry point actually issues the visa on arrival.
- 2Prepare the supporting documents and the fee, often required in cash.
- 3Complete the form at the dedicated counter after landing.
- 4Pay the fee and collect the sticker before immigration control.
How to get the visa on arrival
Everything happens at the border: go to the visa counter, hand over your passport, pay the fee, then present yourself at immigration control. You may be asked about the length or purpose of your stay or your accommodation; answer clearly and keep your supporting documents within reach. Before leaving the counter, check that the visa affixed is complete and legible.
Where do you apply for a visa for Jordan from India?
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 India on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in India 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.
Timing and tips
There is no processing time to anticipate before the trip, since the visa is issued at the time of entry; simply allow some time for the wait at the counter. Entry rules sometimes change, so review them on an official Jordanian source shortly before departure. If entering by land, make sure the border post you plan to use issues this visa.
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 passport in poor condition or close to expiry and a lack of cash at the counter are among the most common sources of difficulty. Another pitfall is not noting the length of stay granted on entry, even though it is shown on the visa or stamp, and then exceeding it. Finally, there is no need to go through a paid intermediary for this visa: it is obtained directly on arrival.
