Passport validity for Jordan
The expiry date on your passport must be at least 6 months after the day you arrive in Jordan. An Israeli stamp in your passport will not usually cause problems.
Getting a visa
All British visitors need a visa. You can buy a single-entry visa on arrival at an airport or the Sheikh Hussein crossing for 40 dinars, valid for 3 months.
Tourists staying at least 3 nights can instead buy a Jordan Pass online, which includes the visa fee and entry to major sites. Visas can be extended online for up to 6 months.
Longer stays and land borders
If you stay more than 30 days you must take an HIV test. A 10 dinar departure tax is charged in cash at land border crossings.
You cannot get a visa at the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge, so arrange one in advance if entering that way.
