Visa for Jordan from Nigeria: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. Nigerians must obtain a visa before travelling to Jordan, including for a short tourist stay, and the application is made to the Jordanian embassy or consulate responsible for their place of residence. Start the procedure at the very beginning of your preparations, as the visa must be in your hands before departure. Only the Jordanian mission can confirm the requirements that apply to your situation.

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.

• Application centre feeVariable, set by the operator

  Only when the post uses an external centre. The amount is set locally and we do not publish a figure we cannot verify.

• 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.

• ExtrasVariable

  Courier return, SMS tracking, compliant photo, insurance, sworn translation or legalisation, depending on what the post requires.

We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.

The standard file includes the completed and signed visa application form, a valid passport, recent passport photos, a return flight reservation, proof of accommodation and financial means and, depending on the case, an invitation letter or travel insurance. No official amount is given here: the visa fee and payment methods must be confirmed with the competent Jordanian mission.

Contact the competent Jordanian embassy or consulate to find out the current procedure, the form to complete and how to submit the file. Book an appointment if the mission requires it, then go to the counter indicated with the complete file and your passport. Keep a copy of every document and the submission receipt so you can follow the progress of your application.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Nigeria, 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 Nigeria 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.

The processing time is not specified in this guide and may vary between applications: ask the Embassy of Jordan and submit your file with a comfortable margin. Do not buy a non-refundable plane ticket before obtaining the visa. If your route includes a stopover, also check the transit rules of the country concerned.

Booking final tickets before the consular decision is the costliest mistake. Incomplete files, weak proof of funds or non-compliant photos also delay the review or lead to a refusal. Finally, be wary of intermediaries who guarantee a visa in exchange for payment: only the Jordanian mission decides.
