What the Jordan visa rules mean for Bahrain travellers

Bahrain citizens can enter Jordan without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid Bahrain passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.

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.
