Return or onward ticket

No official Jordanian source we could read states a general onward-ticket rule for visitors. The Ministry of Interior says ordinary-passport holders resident in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, GCC states, South Korea, EU states, the Nordic countries or the UK, with a residence valid for at least six months, can get a visa on arrival without prior approval, and that those arriving by air must hold a return ticket.

Registration after arrival

48 hours

Jordan's Ministry of Interior says Article 14 of the Residence and Foreigners Affairs Law obliges managers of hotels, hostels and hotel apartments, and anyone who houses a foreigner, to notify the Public Security Directorate within 48 hours of the foreigner's arrival or departure. It says Article 11 requires any foreigner wishing to stay more than two weeks to complete a declaration at the Public Security Directorate, to document their place of residence. Violating Article 11 or 14 is fined 200 dinars (Article 36). The UK government says the 14-day reporting rule does not apply to tourists, pilgrims, transit-visa holders or annual-residency holders. Australia's Smartraveller says travellers on visit, single, long-term or multiple-entry visas issued by the Ministry of the Interior must register their residency details at the immigration desk on arrival at the airport.
