Information on Entry into Jordan:
- Jordanian visas are required for U.S. citizens for travel to Jordan. Visa on arrival is available at the northern and southern crossings. Cost is 40 JOD/$56. Credit card machines are available but not always functioning, so cash is preferred.
- Taxis and buses to Amman are available at all border crossings.
- Israel charges an exit tax on all U.S. citizen visitors of $180. This is payable in U.S. dollars, ILS, or credit card.
- Land crossings to Jordan are currently operating. A passport with a validity of at least six months is required for entry into Jordan.
- While it is not explicitly illegal to bring Jewish religious items into Jordan, the U.S. Embassy has received reports that travelers carrying such items have encountered delays. Travelers may wish to consider not carrying such items with them into Jordan.
- For those crossing the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge, an E-visa is mandatory before crossing. This can be obtained at https://eservices.moi.gov.jo.
