The details for a Russian 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. 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.
