Visas are required by all foreigners entering Jordan.
The cost of one entry visa for all nationalities is 20JD (around $30) obtained upon arrival at the airport; for multiple entries for all nationalities it is 60JD (around $85) and can be obtained at the nearest embassy/consulate.
These are issued with a minimum of fuss at the border or airport on arrival. Note that visas are not issued at the King Hussein Bridge if you plan to enter from Israel & the Palestinian Territories. There are moneychangers adjacent to the counters; ATMs are only available after immigration.
Tourist visas are valid for three months (ie you must
enter the country within three months of the date of issue) for stays
of up to one month from the date of entry, but can be easily extended
for stays of up to three months.
Visas can also be obtained from Jordanian consulates or embassies outside the country. Arrivals at Aqaba, either through the port, the airport or at the crossing from Israel or Saudi Arabia, are granted a free visa to Jordan. There is no obligation associated with this visa, provided that they leave the country within 1 month of arrival, and that they do not need to renew their visa.
