Discover visa requirements for your trip
Jordanian citizens need a short-stay visa to visit Japan for tourism. The application is made at a Japanese embassy or consulate before departure.
Jordan does not have a visa waiver with Japan: a Jordanian traveller must obtain a short-stay (tourism) visa from a Japanese diplomatic mission. The application is made before travel, with a file that justifies the purpose and conditions of the stay. The passport must remain valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. For a tourist stay in Japan, Jordanian nationals must obtain a short-stay visa before departure. No visa-free entry or visa on arrival is available for this passport; the visa must be issued in advance by the Japanese authorities.
How and where to apply
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.
Documents and fees
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.
Processing and tips
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.
Common mistakes
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.
