Do I need a visa for Jordan from Nigeria?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Nigerian nationals need a visa to enter Jordan. The simplest route is the e-Visa applied for online before departure, though some entry points may also issue a visa on arrival.
If you hold a Nigerian passport and are planning a trip to Jordan, be aware that the Hashemite Kingdom grants Nigerians no visa exemption: prior authorisation is required. The recommended path is the official e-Visa, requested from Nigeria through the online portal, or the JordanPass, which bundles the visa with entry to major attractions.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Nigerian travellers must obtain a visa before or on arrival in Jordan; there is no exemption for this passport. Applying for the e-Visa online before travel is the most reliable method, and the JordanPass option lets you combine it with entry to many sites such as Petra.
How and where to apply
From Nigeria, apply online on Jordan's official portal with electronic payment. You may alternatively buy a JordanPass before departure. Some airports and land borders issue a visa on arrival, but arranging it online in advance avoids queues and uncertainty.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Nigerian passport valid for at least six months beyond entry, a passport photo, your itinerary, a hotel booking and a return ticket. The fee is not confirmed here: check the official portal or the JordanPass for the current price and any conditions under which the visa fee is waived.
Processing and tips
Submit your application several days before travel and keep both a printed and a digital copy of the confirmation. Make sure the name entered matches your passport exactly. As the exact processing time is not guaranteed here, rely on the official portal for the current estimate.
Common mistakes
Do not rely solely on visa on arrival without confirming it is available at your entry point. Watch out for insufficient passport validity and typos in your name. If you transit through a yellow-fever zone, a vaccination certificate may be required, so verify this with the official source.
