Jordanian Visa Requirements Relaxed
Travel and Tourism blogs have all been talking about the recent news which broke out on Monday, 10th of May about the Jordanian Government easing regulations on visa entry into Jordan. Following a meeting with Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, the Jordanian Government has approved several measures to uplift the tourism sector, designed to make travelling to Jordan more convenient for people of all nationalities. The following amendments have been agreed upon, sourced from Jordan Tourism Board:
- Waiving visa fees for tourists of all nationalities coming through Jordanian tour operators whether traveling individually or in groups. The visa fee is waived on the condition that the traveler/travelers spend a minimum of two consecutive nights in Jordan.
- Waiving visa fees for individual tourists who have organized their trip to Jordan without arrangements through a tour operator and have purchased the unified tourist site ticket on the condition that they spend a minimum of three consecutive nights in Jordan.
- Reducing visa fees for tourists entering Jordan through land borders. The visa fee will be reduced from 40 JOD to 10 JOD on the condition that these tourists spend a minimum of three consecutive nights in Jordan.
- Waiving departure tax for all scheduled flights from Aqaba and Amman, on the condition that tourists purchase the unified tourist site ticket and spend a minimum of three consecutive nights in Jordan.
- Waiving the departure tax and entry visa for all low cost and charter flights leaving King Hussein International Airport, Aqaba.
The easing of Jordanian Visa Requirements will surely help the country boost its tourism, although there is huge potential in the upcoming years to visit places like Petra, in Amman and the famous Ancient Roman City of Jerash.
