The rest of the trip for a Malaysian passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Jordan entry requirements.
The details for a Malaysian passport.
Not on Jordan's Ministry of Interior restricted-nationalities list (MOI page, 'Last update: 09/11/2025', read 11 Oct 2026), so no prior approval is needed; the Jordanian Embassy in London says visas for most nationalities can be obtained at the Sheikh Hussein and Wadi Araba crossings, while restricted nationalities need prior permits. The Jordanian Embassy in London lists Malaysian citizens among those who 'can get their visa free of charge (Gratis)'; whether the visa on arrival is also free was not confirmed, so budget JOD 40. CORRECTION of earlier doubt: Wikipedia said Malaysians must apply at an embassy, but Malaysia is on neither the MOI restricted list nor the Jordanian Embassy London's restricted list. Visa on arrival also at Queen Alia airport (FCDO, State Dept, travel.gc.ca). Single-entry visa JOD 40 (FCDO, State Dept, Irish DFA). Stay usually 30 days / 1 month on arrival (travel.gc.ca, Irish DFA, Taiwan MOFA, Jordanian Embassy London), extendable at a police station up to 6 months; FCDO and State Dept describe the visa as valid 3 months. No visa on arrival at the King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge: get an e-visa or embassy visa first. Register at a police station if staying over 14 days (JOD 200 fine otherwise) unless holding a Jordan Pass. Jordan Pass (JOD 70-80, includes the visa fee) waives the fee with a minimum stay (Jordan Pass terms: 2 nights; FCDO, Smartraveller and Jordanian Embassy London: 3 nights). Passport valid 6 months. JOD 10 exit fee per passenger at land and sea borders.
How long it must be valid.
At least 6 months from arrival (FCDO, updated 7 Oct 2026; State Dept, updated 14 May 2026).
Recent changes in Jordan.
- 2026-01 — Visa-on-arrival and e-visa stays were reported extended from 30 to 90 days with no fee change (VisasNews, Jan 2026, cited on Wikipedia). FCDO now says the JOD 40 visa 'is valid for 3 months' and State Dept lists a '3-month single-entry' visa. Smartraveller and the Jordan Pass FAQ still say 30 days or 1 month.
- 2025-10-01 — New rule (per Irish DFA): stays over 14 days require reporting to the residency office of the nearest police station; failure means a JOD 200 fine on departure. The Turkish MFA also refers to a September 2025 amendment of Jordan's residence and foreigners law.
- 2025-11-09 — MOI restricted-nationalities page shows 'Last update: 09/11/2025' (read as 9 Nov 2025): 53 countries need prior approval. Vietnam, Albania, Moldova and Colombia are not on it, although the Jordanian Embassy London and Jordan Pass lists still name them.
