Jordan Guide
Entry requirements
All visitors to Jordan must hold passports valid for at least six months beyond the proposed date of entry to the country. On arrival at all airports, as well as at all land and sea borders – apart from the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge – most nationalities are routinely issued with a single-entry visa. If you arrive at Aqaba, it's free; if you arrive anywhere else, it costs JD10.
(Note that citizens of certain developing countries cannot obtain a visa on arrival and must instead apply at the nearest Jordanian embassy at least three months prior to travel. A full list of these is at 
www.visitjordan.com .)
If you plan to enter Jordan for the first time via the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge, you must already hold a visa. If, however, you left Jordan via this bridge and are returning the same way, you don't need to buy another visa as long as your current one is still valid.
For groups of five or more people, whose journey has been arranged by a travel agent and who intend to stay in Jordan for at least two nights, visa fees are waived. A multiple-entry visa costs roughly twice the price of a single-entry – the equivalent of £21/US$31 – but is available only from Jordanian embassies and consulates.
Both single- and multiple-entry visas are valid for a stay of thirty days. If you're planning to stay longer than that, you must register with the police in the last couple of days before the thirty-day period is up – a simple, free, five-minute procedure which grants a three-month extension.
Always carry your passport on your person: you'll need it to check into hotels and to ease your way through any checkpoints.
