Jordan Pass Online

Jordan Pass: General Information

The Jordan Pass is an entry permit issued to certain foreign travelers who wish to travel to Jordan and access the country's most popular tourist attractions.

The Pass is not the same as the Jordan tourist visa since it functions as an all-access pass to Jordan for tourism-related purposes.

The Jordan Pass grants pre-paid entry to more than 40 sites, such as Jerash, Petra, and Wadi Rum. When holding the Jordan Pass, one can avoid the need to spend long hours standing in line to buy a ticket every time accessing a certain tourist location in Jordan.

The Pass also includes many free brochures with all the attractions that can be downloaded.

From the moment of purchasing the Jordan Pass online, it can be used for 12 months. After using it for the first time, the Pass remains valid for the next 2 weeks.

The visa linked to the Jordan Pass acts as a one-entry visa permitting staying in Jordan for up to 30 days. Now, the tourist visa can be obtained online by every person holding a valid Jordan Pass.
