Jordan eVisa Validity – How Long Is It Valid?
Understanding your Jordan eVisa validity is essential for planning your trip correctly. A Jordan eVisa has two key time parameters: the period within which you must enter Jordan (validity period from issue date) and the maximum stay per visit (30 days per entry). This guide explains both and how to extend if needed.
Jordan eVisa Validity Periods 2026
Jordan offers eVisas with the following validity periods, counting from the date of issue:
- 3 months: Must enter Jordan within 3 months of the eVisa being issued
- 6 months: Must enter Jordan within 6 months of issue (multiple entry)
- 1 year: Must enter (and can re-enter) within 12 months of issue (multiple entry)
- 5 years: Valid for unlimited entries within 5 years of issue (multiple entry)
See all Jordan eVisa types for complete details on entries allowed per type.
Maximum Length of Stay Per Visit
Regardless of eVisa validity, each individual stay in Jordan is limited to 30 days. This means:
- If your eVisa is valid for 1 year with multiple entries, you can enter Jordan many times within that year, but each stay must not exceed 30 days
- Your total time in Jordan across multiple visits can add up to much more than 30 days over the visa’s lifetime
- If you wish to stay longer than 30 days in a single visit, you can apply for an extension within Jordan
How to Calculate Your Visa Expiry Date
Your Jordan eVisa is issued with a specific issue date and expiry date printed on the PDF document. Calculate as follows:
- Issue date: the date your eVisa was approved
- Expiry date: issue date + validity period (3 months / 6 months / 1 year / 5 years)
- You must enter Jordan on or before the expiry date
Example: eVisa issued on January 1, 2026, with 3-month validity expires on April 1, 2026. You must enter Jordan on or before April 1, 2026.
Extending Your Stay in Jordan
If you wish to stay longer than 30 days in Jordan, you can apply for an extension. The process:
- Visit the nearest police station or the Department of Expatriates and Borders Affairs (Jawazat)
- Bring your passport, eVisa, proof of accommodation, and a reason for extension
- Extensions are typically granted for periods up to 3 months
- The fee for a stay extension varies but is generally modest
Do not overstay your visa – this can result in fines, detention, and future entry bans. Check our Jordan entry requirements 2026 for full border regulations.
What Happens If My eVisa Expires Before I Travel?
If your approved eVisa expires before your travel date (because your travel plans changed), you will need to apply for a new eVisa. The original fee is non-refundable. Reapply through the official portal at eservices.moi.gov.jo.
Jordan eVisa Validity for Multiple Visits
For travelers using a 6-month, 1-year, or 5-year multiple entry eVisa:
- Each entry into Jordan resets your 30-day stay counter
- If you exit Jordan (even for a day to Israel or another neighboring country) and re-enter, you start a fresh 30-day period
- The total visa validity does NOT reset on re-entry – only the per-stay 30-day counter does

How long can I stay in Jordan with an eVisa?
Each visit to Jordan with an eVisa is limited to 30 days. You can stay longer by applying for an extension at a local police station or the Department of Expatriates and Borders Affairs (Jawazat).
Can I enter Jordan multiple times with a 3-month eVisa?
A 3-month single entry eVisa allows only ONE entry. A 3-month double entry allows two entries. Multiple entry (6-month, 1-year, 5-year) eVisas allow unlimited entries during the validity period.
What happens if I overstay my Jordan visa?
Overstaying your Jordan visa can result in fines at the border upon departure, potential detention, and possible bans on future entry. Always apply for an extension before your 30-day stay expires if you plan to stay longer.
Does my Jordan eVisa start from approval date or arrival date?
The Jordan eVisa validity starts from the issue (approval) date, not your arrival date. Plan your travel so you arrive in Jordan before the visa’s expiry date.
Can I check my Jordan eVisa validity online?
Yes. Log in to the official Jordan eVisa portal with your application reference number to check your eVisa status and validity dates. The dates are also printed on your eVisa PDF document.
What if my Jordan eVisa is about to expire while I’m in the country?
If your eVisa expires while you are in Jordan, visit the Department of Expatriates and Borders Affairs to extend your stay. Do not wait until your visa expires – start the extension process several days before expiry.
