What you need

  • Passport: Must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay.
  • Visa Application Form: Available upon arrival at immigration counters.
  • Financial Proof: While not always explicitly asked for, it is recommended to have sufficient funds to cover your stay, approximately USD 100 per day.
  • Accommodation Proof: A confirmed hotel booking or an invitation letter from a Jordanian host is advisable.
  • Return Ticket: Proof of onward or return travel is typically required.
  • Photo: One recent passport-sized photograph with a white background, although not always demanded at the point of entry, it's good practice to carry one.
  • Biometrics: Fingerprints may be taken at immigration. Submission is at the port of entry.
  • Travel Health Insurance: While not mandatory for visa issuance, it is highly recommended for medical emergencies.

Visa types

  • Tourist Visa: This is the most common visa for short stays.
  • Official Name: Tourist Entry Visa.
  • Validity: Typically issued for 30 days from the date of issue.
  • Maximum Stay: 30 days, extendable.
  • Entry: Usually single entry.
  • Approximate Fee: JOD 40 (approx. USD 56).
  • Business Visa: For individuals traveling for business purposes. The process and fees are generally similar to the tourist visa for short business trips, but a letter from the sponsoring company in Jordan might be required.
  • Other Visas (Student, Work, etc.): These require pre-approval and application through the Jordanian Embassy in Albania or the Directorate of Public Security in Jordan before arrival. They are not typically issued on arrival.

Visa on arrival

Tips for Albania travelers

  • Advance Application: For a visa on arrival, no advance application is needed. However, for longer stays or specific visa types (work, study), apply at the Jordanian Embassy in Tirana well in advance.
  • Common Rejection Reasons: Incomplete documentation, insufficient funds, or unclear travel intentions can lead to visa denial. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months.
  • VFS/BLS vs. Direct Embassy Application: For visa on arrival, you deal directly with immigration officials. For pre-arranged visas, contact the Jordanian Embassy in Albania (check mfa.gov.jo for contact details).
  • Travel Advisories: Always check the latest travel advisories from your country's foreign ministry and the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs before travel.
  • Extension Options: Tourist visas can usually be extended for an additional period (often up to 60 days in total) by visiting the local Directorate of Public Security (Immigration Department) in Jordan. Proof of accommodation and financial means may be required.
