Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, the application form, a recent ID photo, your itinerary, accommodation and return-flight bookings, and proof of sufficient funds. The exact consular fee is not fixed here: refer to the fee schedule of the Embassy of Japan or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), which is authoritative.

The Jordanian traveller submits the application at the Embassy of Japan in Amman or the competent consulate, in person or through a designated agency where applicable. The form, passport and supporting documents are lodged before departure. Check the embassy website to see whether an appointment or an accredited intermediary is required.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Jordan, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

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 times depend on the mission and the season; typically allow several working days and apply well before the travel date. A complete file, consistent with the booked dates and accompanied by a letter explaining the purpose of the trip, helps the decision. Confirm the indicative processing time with the embassy.

Do not assume a visa waiver: Jordan does not have one for Japan. Avoid a passport close to expiry, a vague itinerary or insufficient financial evidence. Do not book firm flights until the visa is granted, and strictly observe the authorised length of stay.
