United Arab Emirates e-Visa for citizens of Jordan: online application, fees and processing time 2026

Yes. As a Jordanian citizen you must obtain a visa to enter the United Arab Emirates for tourism. The usual format is the electronic visa (e-Visa), issued before you travel.

Prepare a Jordanian passport valid for at least 6 months on the date of entry, a compliant passport photo, a copy of the passport bio page, and the supporting documents requested by the portal (return flight booking, accommodation, and possibly proof of funds). The fee amount and validity depend on the visa type you choose (length of stay, single or multiple entry) and are not fixed here: check them directly on the official portal before you pay.

For the e-Visa, the application is made online, with no need to visit a consulate. The official portal is run by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP) at icp.gov.ae. Many Jordanian travellers also apply through their airline (for example when buying the ticket) or their UAE hotel, either of which can sponsor the request. Create a file, upload your documents, pay the fee and track the status until the visa is delivered electronically.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Jordan 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.

Processing time varies by the channel used and the visa type; check the official portal for the current estimate, often a few working days. Submit your application several days before departure to absorb any delay. Keep a digital and printed copy of your e-Visa for boarding and the arrival check, and make sure your details match the passport exactly.

Do not assume a free visa on arrival: without a confirmed e-Visa you may be denied boarding. Avoid unofficial intermediary websites that add surcharges. Make sure the name and passport number you enter match the document exactly, as an error invalidates the visa. Finally, do not let your passport drop near the 6-month validity limit, and do not leave the application to the last minute.
