Can I still get a visa on arrival instead?

Yes, but expect 30-60 minute wait times at Amman airport. The e-visa lets you use the faster immigration line.

What if my e-visa application gets rejected?

You'll get a refund within 5-7 business days. Common rejection reasons are poor photo quality or passport expiring within 6 months.

Do I need the Jordan Pass?

The Jordan Pass ($75-99) includes the visa fee plus entry to 40+ attractions including Petra. Buy it instead of the e-visa if you're visiting multiple sites.
