Jordan Visa Exemption: Information for Turkish Citizens

For citizens of the Republic of Turkey planning to travel to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, one of the most important questions is, "Is a visa required for Jordan?" Thanks to agreements between the two countries, the visa policy is quite clear and offers significant convenience to Turkish citizens.

90-Day Visa-Free Travel Rule

Holders of Ordinary (Maroon), Special (Green), and Service (Grey) passports of the Republic of Turkey are exempt from visas for their touristic or commercial travels to Jordan for a period not exceeding 90 days within any 180-day period. This practice eliminates the need to go through the visa application process for short-term visits. Holders of Diplomatic (Black) passports can also travel visa-free for up to 90 days.

Required Documents for Entry to Jordan (Current for 2026)

Being visa-exempt does not guarantee unconditional entry into the country. Jordanian border officials may request the following documents to verify the purpose of your travel and approve your entry. Having these documents up-to-date and complete is critical for a smooth entry:

• Passport: A passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into Jordan, with at least two blank pages.
• Proof of Accommodation: Hotel reservations or a document showing the address where you will be staying.
• Return Ticket: A confirmed flight ticket proving that you will leave the country.
• Sufficient Funds: Enough foreign currency to cover travel expenses (cash, credit card statement, etc.).
• For Business Travel: For short-term business visits that do not require a visa, it is useful to have an invitation letter from the company in Jordan or a company letter explaining the purpose of the business trip.

Situations Requiring a Visa and Visa Types

Individuals who plan to stay longer than the 90-day visa exemption period or travel to Jordan for other purposes must apply for a visa. These applications are generally made directly to Jordan's foreign representative offices (Embassy/Consulate) in Turkey.

Long-Term Stays and Business Visas

It is mandatory to obtain a Jordanian business visa for activities such as working on a project, participating in a fair, or planning a business trip exceeding 90 days. Similarly, for touristic or family visits lasting more than 90 days, an application for the appropriate visa type must be made. Business visa applications typically require an invitation letter from the partner company in Jordan, company letters, and documents proving the business relationship.

Work and Education Visas

Individuals traveling for purposes such as working, enrolling in an educational institution, or participating in a long-term research project in Jordan must obtain a special visa (work permit, student visa, etc.) appropriate for their travel purpose. These processes are more complex and are carried out with acceptance letters from the relevant institution (employer, university) and other official documents.

Jordan Visa on Arrival and the Jordan Pass

The "Jordan visa on arrival" is not directly relevant to Turkish citizens as they are visa-exempt. However, this practice allows citizens of many visa-required countries to obtain a visa for a fee at airports and specific border crossings in Jordan. A more relevant topic for Turkish citizens is the "Jordan Pass." The Jordan Pass is a tourism package that includes entry to over 40 tourist sites (like Petra, Wadi Rum, Jerash) and also covers the visa fee for eligible nationalities. Although the Jordan Pass does not provide a visa fee advantage for visa-exempt Turkish citizens, it can still be a very cost-effective option in terms of attraction entrance fees, especially if they plan to visit high-cost sites like Petra.
