Jordan nationalities requiring prior visa approval
The Ministry of Interior expressly classifies these 53 nationalities as restricted and requiring prior approval before travel to Jordan.
- The Ministry expressly treats this group as requiring prior approval. Its E-services manual distinguishes their other visa applications from the electronic-visa route for nationalities that do not require prior approval; this is therefore visa_required, not evisa.
- The Ministry's schedule is split into 14 Asian, 37 African and two South American nationalities. Its spellings are normalized to the catalog codes without expanding the list.
- All travel-pass documents issued by any country are treated as restricted except a travel pass issued by Vatican City; that document rule is not generalized to ordinary Vatican passports.
- An application must be submitted from outside Jordan. The Ministry may require an in-person interview at a Jordanian embassy, and its portal supports electronic submission, status inquiry and payment.
- This policy does not establish duration, entries, extension, fee, sponsor or guarantee requirements, work, study, transit, residence, diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, stateless or other special-document treatment.
- Approval does not itself guarantee admission. Passport validity, purpose, accommodation, funds, onward travel, health, public-order, security and individual admissibility requirements remain applicable.
