Applying for a Jordan eVisa in 2026 is a simple, fully online process taking around 15-20 minutes. This guide walks you through every step, from checking eligibility to receiving your approved eVisa. For a complete overview, start with our Jordan eVisa guide.
Step 1: Check Eligibility and Gather Documents
Before beginning:
- Confirm your nationality is on the Jordan eVisa eligible countries list
- Gather all required documents – see full Jordan eVisa requirements
Documents needed: valid passport (6+ months validity), passport bio page scan, recent passport photo (white background), return/onward ticket, email address, and credit/debit card for payment.
Step 2: Access the Official Jordan eVisa Portal
Go to eservices.moi.gov.jo – the official Jordan Ministry of Interior e-services portal. This is the only official government website. Be cautious of third-party websites that mimic the official portal and charge inflated service fees.
Step 3: Select Your Visa Type
Choose the appropriate eVisa type for your trip. Review all Jordan eVisa types: single entry (3 months), double entry (3 months), or multiple entry (6 months, 1 year, or 5 years).
Step 4: Complete the Online Application Form
Fill in carefully:
- Personal information: Full name exactly as in passport, date of birth, nationality, gender
- Passport details: Passport number, issue date, expiry date, issuing country
- Travel information: Planned arrival date, duration of stay, port of entry
- Contact details: Email address, phone number
- Accommodation: Hotel name and address in Jordan
Tip: Double-check every field before submitting. Errors are common reasons for rejection – see our rejection guide to avoid mistakes.
Step 5: Upload Documents and Pay
Upload your passport scan and photo (JPG/PNG/PDF, max 2MB each). Then pay the Jordan eVisa fee of JOD 40 (~$56 USD) using Visa, MasterCard, or American Express.
Step 6: Wait for Processing and Travel
Standard processing takes 1-3 business days. Once approved, download your eVisa PDF, print it, and carry it with your passport. See our processing time guide and entry requirements for what to expect at the border.
How long does it take to apply for a Jordan eVisa?
The online application form takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Processing by the Ministry of Interior takes 1-3 business days after submission.
Can I apply for a Jordan eVisa on my phone?

What if I make a mistake on my Jordan eVisa application?
If you spot an error before submission, correct it immediately. If already submitted, reapply with correct information. Errors in name or passport number can cause rejection or entry denial.
How early should I apply for a Jordan eVisa?

Can someone else apply for a Jordan eVisa on my behalf?
