How to Apply for a Jordan Visa or Residence Permit
The main ways to obtain a Jordanian visa or residence permit — online, on arrival, at a mission, or through an employer/university sponsor.
Important
How you apply for entry to Jordan depends on your nationality and purpose. Short-term visitors from eligible countries can obtain a visa on arrival at most air and land ports, or apply in advance through the Ministry of Interior e-services portal at eservices.moi.gov.jo or the MOI mobile app. Others must apply at a Jordanian embassy or consulate before travelling.
For longer stays — work, study, family or investment — you first obtain the relevant visa or sponsorship, then apply for a residence permit through the Ministry of Interior after arrival. Work permits are handled by the Ministry of Labour and investor routes by the Ministry of Investment.
