What the Jordan visa rules mean for Timor-Leste travellers
Timor-Leste passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Jordan. There is nothing to apply for in advance — the visa is issued at the airport or land border after you pay the fee.

The main option is the Single-entry visa on arrival, which costs 40 JOD.
