Archived snapshot The live purchase form publishes maxlengths (100 on the name and both email fields, 150 on the telephone, 250 on the address), one email regex inside its validator script, dropdown-only choices for purpose, accommodation, city, nights, airline, travel party, month and ticket type, and real error strings such as Full name required and Nights is required. This page documents exactly those values and mounts no local validator, because most of the form is dropdown-based.
Section 1: Route and pass conditions
1. Eligibility. Check the passport first. The Interior Ministry lists 53 restricted nationalities that need prior approval, the FAQ says the pass is not available to Arabic nationality holders, and it names South Africa, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan and Vatican City as exempt from visa fees.
2. Purchase timing. The terms say buying the pass after arrival does not allow the visa exemption. Buy it before you fly.
3. Minimum stay. The waiver needs 2 whole nights (3 days). The FAQ says you do not have to prove it in advance; the exit system checks the nights and sends short stays to an office to pay.
4. Which fee is waived. Only the single-entry visa fee. The Tourism Ministry prices that visa at JD 40 for one month on arrival; the JD 60 and JD 120 embassy visas are not covered.
Section 2: Buyer details
5. Your Name. Copy it from the passport you will show at the border. 100 characters maximum; the form says Full name required when empty.
6. Your Email Address. 100 characters maximum. The pass arrives here as a PDF and an image, and the page’s own validator rejects a malformed address with Not Valid Email.
7. Re-enter Email Address. The same address again. The form compares the two fields before payment.
8. Telephone. A number that works while travelling, with the country code. 150 characters maximum; the validator says Telephone is required.
Section 3: Trip details
9. Main purpose of your visit. A fixed dropdown: Medical treatment, Wellness Spa, Walking Hiking Biking, Business, Religious, Experiencing local culture, Visit historical sites, Extreme Adventure. Empty selection returns Purpose visit is required.
10. Accommodation type. 5 Star Hotel down to 1 Star Hotel, Airbnb, or hotel and serviced apartments. The validator reads Accommodation is required.
11. City of Stay. One of 12 governorates: Amman, Irbid, Zarqa, Balqa, Mafraq, Karak, Tafilah, Ma’an, Madaba, Jerash, Ajloun, Aqaba. A Petra and Wadi Rum trip usually means Ma’an.
12. Residency Address in Jordan. Hotel name, street and town. 250 characters maximum.
13. Nights in Jordan. The dropdown runs from 2 to 30, so a one-night stay cannot even be entered. Choose what you actually plan.
14. Expected Month of Arrival. A month in MM-YYYY form, for example 10-2026. There is no exact-date field.
Section 4: Ticket and delivery
15. Ticket Type. The dropdown lists Jordan Wanderer at JD 70, Jordan Explorer at JD 75 and Jordan Expert at JD 80. Petra days must be consecutive, Petra by Night is excluded, and the pass scans only at the Petra Visitor’s Center.
16. Number Of Tickets. One per traveller aged 12 and over. Children under 12 enter free with their parents.
17. Printed copy. Print the PDF. The FAQ says the QR code may be unreadable from a cell phone, at the visa office and at every site.
After submission
Payment goes through the same page. The pass then arrives by email as a PDF and an image; if nothing arrives, check the spam folder before paying again, because the terms make the pass non-refundable.
At Queen Alia Airport or Sheikh Hussein Bridge, show the printed pass at the visa office and the JD 40 fee is not charged. At Wadi Araba, the pass is what makes visa on arrival possible, and leaving without 2 nights costs JD 60. Keep the email and the printout together with the passport used in the purchase.
