Jordan Visa for Filipinos: Requirements, Fees & How to Apply in 2026

Yes, Filipino passport holders need a visa to enter Jordan, and visa-on-arrival is not available for Philippine passport holders.

Here’s which visa to apply for, what documents you need, and how to lodge your application from Manila.

Do Filipinos Need a Visa for Jordan?

Yes — every Philippine passport holder must obtain a Jordan visa before travelling. The Philippines is on Jordan’s restricted-nationality list, so you cannot get a visa stamped at the airport in the standard way most other tourists do.

You’ll need to secure your visa in advance through the Honorary Consulate of Jordan in Manila or, if you qualify, through the Jordan eVisa portal.

When You Can Still Get Visa-on-Arrival

There is one exception. Filipinos who hold any of the following may be issued a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM):

• Valid GCC residency (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman)
• Valid US visa or US Green Card
• Valid EU/Schengen residence permit

Types of Jordan Visas Available for Filipino Travellers

Jordan issues several visa categories, not just tourist visas. Pick the one that matches your purpose of travel — applying under the wrong category is a common reason for refusal.

Tourist Visa (Single, Double, Multiple Entry)

The most common visa for Filipinos visiting Amman, Petra, and the Dead Sea. Issued in three forms:

• Single-entry: one visit, up to 30 days
• Double-entry: two visits within three months — useful if combining with Egypt or Saudi Arabia
• Multiple-entry: unlimited entries over six months

Business Visa

For Filipinos travelling to Jordan for meetings, conferences, trade fairs, or short-term business activity.

Requires a formal invitation letter from the host company in Jordan, plus a letter from your Philippine employer confirming the purpose and dates.

Work Visa and Residence Permit

Filipinos hired in Jordan need a work permit issued by the Jordanian Ministry of Labour, sponsored by the employer. Once in the country, you must convert it into a residence permit through the General Directorate of Residency and Borders Affairs.

OFWs must also process documents on the Philippine side — including the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) from the Department of Migrant Workers and contract verification at the Migrant Workers Office in Amman before deployment.

Student Visa

For Filipinos enrolled at a Jordanian university or accredited institution. You’ll need an official admission letter, proof of tuition payment, accommodation details, and medical clearance.

Once in Jordan, the visa is converted into a student residence permit issued by the Ministry of Interior, valid for the duration of the academic year and renewable annually until graduation.

Medical Treatment Visa

Issued to Filipinos travelling to Jordan for treatment at a licensed hospital. Jordan is a regional medical-tourism hub, and patients from across the Middle East and Africa are treated at facilities in Amman.

You’ll need a confirmation letter from the receiving Jordanian medical facility, proof of funds to cover treatment and stay, and supporting medical reports from your doctor in the Philippines.

Transit Visa

Filipinos transiting through Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) without leaving the airside area do not need a visa.

To step out of the airport during a layover — for sightseeing or to switch between AMM and the city — you’ll need a transit visa or a short-stay tourist visa, depending on how long you’ll be in Jordan.

Jordan eVisa (Conditional)

The Ministry of Interior eServices portal issues eVisas, but Filipinos qualify only with a valid US, UK, or Schengen visa, or residency in a qualifying country.

If you don’t hold one of these, the Honorary Consulate in Manila is your only application route — you can’t apply directly online.

What About the Jordan Pass?

The Jordan Pass — which normally waives the visa fee — is not available to Philippine passport holders. The Philippines is named on the Jordan Pass restricted-nationality list, so you cannot use it to enter the country.

Filipinos with GCC, US, or EU residency who enter on a visa-on-arrival should confirm Jordan Pass eligibility directly with jordanpass.jo before purchase, as the Philippines is named on the restricted-nationality list.

Required Documents

The list below covers the core documents required for most Jordan visa applications. Business, work, student, and medical visas also need category-specific paperwork (invitation letter, work permit, admission letter, hospital confirmation).

• Original Philippine passport valid for at least six months beyond your planned date of entry, with at least two blank pages
• Photocopy of the passport bio-data page and any pages with previous visas or stamps
• Completed and signed Jordan visa application form
• Two recent passport-size photos (white background, taken within the last six months)
• Confirmed round-trip flight booking — Manila to Amman and back
• Confirmed hotel reservation or detailed itinerary for your stay
• Bank statement covering the last three to six months showing sufficient funds

Supporting Documents

You may also be asked for:

• Certificate of Employment with leave approval, or business registration if self-employed
• Income Tax Return (ITR) for the most recent year
• Invitation letter from a host or sponsor in Jordan, if applicable
• Proof of travel insurance covering the duration of your stay

How to Apply for a Jordan Visa

Filipinos have two main routes: a sticker visa from the Honorary Consulate in Manila (the default for most applicants) or an eVisa (only if you hold a qualifying visa or residency).

For a Sticker Visa

• Gather your documents. Complete the visa application form and assemble passport, photos, flight booking, hotel booking, and bank statement.
• Submit at the Honorary Consulate of Jordan in Manila. Lodge your file in person or by courier at Room 315, 3/F Sitio Grande Building, 409 Andres Soriano Jr. Avenue, Intramuros, Manila 1002.
• Pay the initial fee. PHP 1,000 deposit at submission; the balance of PHP 3,200 is due after approval.
• Wait for processing. The file is sent to the Embassy of Jordan in Tokyo and the Ministry of Interior in Amman. Approval takes around 30 working days.
• Collect your passport. Verify the sticker shows the correct validity, stay length, and number of entries before leaving the consulate.

For an eVisa

• Confirm your eligibility. Open to Filipinos with a valid US, UK, or Schengen visa, or residency in a qualifying country (GCC, EU, US, Canada, or Australia).
• Apply online. Use the Jordan MOI eServices portal or the Royal Jordanian eVisa page.
• Upload supporting documents. Passport scan, recent photo, and proof of your qualifying visa or residence permit.
• Pay the visa fee online. 40 JOD for single entry; payable by card on the portal.
• Print the approval. Approval typically takes 3–5 working days. Carry the printed letter to the airport — a phone screenshot is not accepted.

Jordan Visa Fees, Processing Time, and Validity

As of May 2026, fees are paid in two parts when applying through the Honorary Consulate in Manila — an initial deposit on submission and the balance on approval. Visa-on-arrival and eVisa fees are paid in Jordanian Dinar.

Fee Comparison

Processing Times and Validity

Processing time depends on which route you use. Plan around the slowest one in your itinerary:

• Honorary Consulate (Manila): roughly 30 working days
• eVisa (for eligible applicants): typically 3 to 5 working days
• Visa on Arrival (eligible residents only): issued at the airport counter

Once issued, single and double-entry visas are valid for entry within three months, while multiple-entry visas are valid for six months. The permitted stay per entry is 30 days, extendable at any police station inside Jordan.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Most rejected or delayed applications come down to a handful of avoidable errors. Watch out for these before you submit:

• Assuming visa-on-arrival is available. Filipinos without GCC, US, or EU residency are not issued visas at the airport — and may be denied boarding in Manila.
• Booking a flight that stops in Israel. Itineraries with Israeli stopovers can trigger delays or refusals at the consulate. Choose a direct route or one transiting through the Gulf.
• Using a passport with less than six months validity. Renew before applying — anything under six months from your planned entry date will be rejected.
• Submitting incomplete forms. Sign every required field, use the correct photo specs, and include all supporting documents on the first try to avoid restarting the processing window.
• Applying too late. Consulate processing takes around 30 working days. Apply at least six to eight weeks before departure.
• Carrying only a digital eVisa. Print the approval letter — Jordanian border officers may not accept the copy on your phone.
• Forgetting travel insurance. Not always mandatory, but the consulate and airline check-in staff often request proof.
• Applying under the wrong visa type. Tourist visas are not valid for paid work, study, or extended stays — choose the right category from the start.
