How to get a Jordan visa with Israel stamps in your passport

Jordan accepts travelers with Israel stamps in their passports and issues visas normally. You can get a visa on arrival at most entry points for 40 JOD, apply online in advance, or use the Jordan Pass if staying multiple days and visiting Petra.

  1. Check your entry point options. All major Jordan entry points accept passports with Israel stamps: Queen Alia Airport in Amman, King Hussein Bridge (Allenby Bridge from Israel), and Aqaba airport. Land borders with Saudi Arabia and Iraq also have no restrictions.
  2. Choose your visa method. Three options: visa on arrival (40 JOD at airport or land borders), online e-visa (40 JOD plus processing fee, apply 3-7 days ahead), or Jordan Pass (75+ JOD, includes visa plus Petra entry and other attractions if staying 3+ nights).
  3. Prepare required documents. Bring your passport with at least 6 months validity, return flight ticket, proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter), and sufficient funds evidence (bank statement or cash equivalent to $150+ per day).
  4. Apply for your chosen visa type. For visa on arrival: go directly to immigration with documents and payment. For e-visa: apply at visa.moi.gov.jo with scanned documents. For Jordan Pass: purchase at jordanpass.jo and print confirmation.
  5. Enter Jordan normally. Present your passport, visa/Jordan Pass, and supporting documents at immigration. Officers may ask about your Israel travel but this is routine questioning, not grounds for denial. Answer honestly and briefly.
Will Jordan immigration ask about my Israel stamps?
They may ask routine questions about your Israel visit, but this is normal security procedure and won't affect your visa approval. Answer honestly and briefly.
Is the Jordan Pass worth it with Israel stamps?
Yes, if you're staying 3+ nights and visiting Petra. The pass costs 75 JOD but includes the 40 JOD visa plus Petra entry (50 JOD value), making it worthwhile for most tourists.
Can I enter Jordan directly from Israel?
Yes, via King Hussein Bridge (Allenby Bridge). You'll pay Israel exit tax (180 NIS) then get your Jordan visa at the border. The process takes 1-3 hours total.
Do I need to hide my Israel stamps?
No. Jordan officially recognizes Israel and has no issue with previous Israeli travel. Attempting to hide stamps would be dishonest and unnecessary.
What if I have both Israeli and Arab country stamps?
Jordan accepts passports with any combination of stamps. Having visited both Israel and Arab countries is common and creates no visa issues.
