Visa requirement for Polish nationals
Polish citizens still need a visa, but the most convenient way to obtain it is on arrival at Amman (Queen Alia) airport or online as an e‑visa. The standard visa allows a single entry and a 30‑day stay. The fee at the border control office is 40 JOD, and an online application can be approved in as little as 2 hours.
Jordan Pass – savings and tickets in one
The Jordan Pass package (70–80 JOD) includes prepaid entry to over 40 attractions – including Petra, Wadi Rum and Jerash – and waives the visa fee, provided that you buy it before travelling and spend at least two full nights (three days) in Jordan. You can use the pass within 3 months of purchase. It is activated when it is first scanned at an attraction and expires after one month.
Visa on arrival in Aqaba and the free ASEZA stamp
Arriving directly in Aqaba or getting there within 48 hours of entry (ASEZA) entitles you to a free 30‑day tourist visa. This option does not require a Jordan Pass, but for shorter stays it does not exempt you from the 10 JOD exit fee charged at land borders.
Types and costs of longer visas
Double‑entry – 60 JOD, valid for three months.
Multiple‑entry, 6 months – 120 JOD.
Multiple‑entry, 1 year – 200 JOD.
Business visa for up to 5 years – 350 JOD.
Applications for these categories must be submitted in advance; the consulate in Berlin, however, directs most travellers to the online system.
Extensions and overstay penalties
By registering at a police station before the initial 30 days expire, you may extend your stay to 60 days free of charge. Each further month costs 1.5 JOD/day. Leaving late without completing the formalities results in a fine on departure and may complicate future entries.
Documents required on entry
A passport valid for at least six months.
A printout of your e‑visa or Jordan Pass, or a confirmation of your flight booking to Aqaba.
A return or onward ticket (checked at random).
Health insurance – medical treatment in Jordan is expensive (minimum coverage of €100,000).
Practical tips for travellers
The 10 JOD exit fee applies at all land border crossings; at airports it is included in your ticket.
If you plan to rent a car, take out full insurance – even minor collisions are handled strictly.
Stays in border regions with Syria or Iraq require increased caution; follow the advice of your foreign ministry.
In peak season (March–May, October), queues tend to form at airport visa counters – the Jordan Pass reduces wait times to a minimum.
Jordan e‑visa via Notberg
Jordanian e‑visas are issued by the Ministry of Interior via the portal eservices.moi.gov.jo. At Notberg, we submit the application on your behalf. The authority usually processes it in about 3 days. Options from our catalogue:
For each option you choose a service package: Standard (around 4 days), Premium (1 day) or Instant for immediate processing when your departure is imminent.
We only need two things: the online application and a scan of the passport page with your personal data and photo. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the visa’s validity.
Jordan Pass and e‑visa: common mistakes
Buying it after arrival. The Jordan Pass waives the visa fee only if you buy it before arriving in Jordan.
No Jordan Pass at the counter. At Queen Alia airport and at the Sheikh Hussein Bridge, where visas are issued on arrival, you must present your Jordan Pass at the visa office. Without it, you will not get the exemption.
Several entries with one Jordan Pass. The Jordan Pass covers the fee for a single‑entry visa. If you plan to leave Jordan and return during the same trip, obtain a double‑entry or multiple‑entry e‑visa in advance.
More questions about the Jordan visa
What if I leave after one night with a Jordan Pass?
The fee exemption is forfeited. When leaving via the Wadi Araba crossing, you will pay the visa fee on the spot, and at the airport an officer will direct you to the office where you must settle it.
Do I have to prove in advance that I will stay two nights?
No. The immigration authority checks your length of stay when you leave the country.
Where do I report an error in my e‑visa details?
The Jordanian Ministry of Interior accepts notifications by email at [email protected] or via WhatsApp on +962 79 100 0838. If Notberg submitted your application, please contact the consultant handling your case.
Which e‑visa should I choose for frequent business trips?
The multiple‑entry visa for 1 year or 5 years. Each entry is made on the same visa, so you do not submit a new application before every trip.
Summary
Jordan Pass + min. 2 nights = no visa fee; otherwise Visa on Arrival 40 JOD for 30 days. E‑visa online in a few hours. Free visa in Aqaba if arriving under ASEZA.
