VISAS & DEPARTURE TAX

North American visitors (U.S., Canada, & Mexico) with valid passports may obtain a visa at the Jordan Embassy in Washington DC, or at any of the Consular Offices in the United States. Visas can also be obtained at Queen Alia International Airport or at border crossings except at the King Hussein (Allenby) bridge and the ferryboat from Egypt; payment must be in local currency (you can change money at the bank next to the visa office in the Arrivals Hall). Visas are valid for two weeks, but can be extended at any police station. Travelers must make sure their passports are valid for at least 6 more months from the day of departure.

Few formalities need to be observed when departing Jordan. A departure tax of 10 JD is payable at the airport or 5 JD at other border crossings.
