Jordan Visa Requirements
ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: A passport and a visa are required. To cross into Jordan at the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge, U.S. citizens must already have either a visa for Jordan in their passports or have an entry permit from the Ministry of Interior. The Jordanian Embassy highly recommends you obtain your visa prior to departing the USA. Please see our Jordan visa page for more information.
Foreigners who wish to stay thirty days or more in Jordan must register at a Jordanian police station by their thirtieth day in the country. For stays of 12 months or more police will require that an AIDS test be performed at a government medical facility. Failure to properly register subjects the traveler to a fine of 1.5 Jordanian dinars (approximately $2.10) per day of overstay. This fine is usually assessed at departure.
Travelers are urged to check the Country Specific Information and any existing Travel Warnings or Travel Alerts at travel.state.gov for all countries they plan to visit during their travel to the region. Border crossing requirements may change or borders may be closed during periods of heightened security.
COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a constitutional monarchy with a developing economy and a modern infrastructure. Western culture features prominently in the lives of many Jordanians; however, at the same time, Islamic ideals and beliefs provide the conservative foundation for the country's customs, laws and practices. Tourist facilities are widely available, although quality may vary depending on price and location.
REGISTRATION / EMBASSY LOCATION: Americans living or traveling abroad are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate through the State Department's travel registration web site so that they can obtain updated information on travel and security within Jordan . Americans without Internet access may register directly with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. By registering, American citizens make it easier for the Embassy or Consulate to contact them in case of emergency. The U.S. Embassy in Amman is located on Al-Umayyaween Street , Abdoun, PO Box 354, Amman 11118 . The telephone number is [962] (6) 590-6000 and the fax number is [962] (6) 592-4102. The after-hours emergency telephone number is [962] (6) 590-6000. The Internet web site is http://amman.usembassy.gov. The U.S. Embassy is open Sunday through Thursday.
