How to get a Jordan visa from Ethiopia

• Ethiopians who intend to travel to Jordan for tourism, vacation, pilgrimage and other leisure activities are eligible to apply for a Jordanian tourist visa.
• You are expected to accurately fill the visa application form and submit it with a passport-size photograph (35x45 mm).
• The passport photo must be printed on quality paper and must clearly show your face.
• As proof that you intend to leave Jordan once your visa expires, you are required to provide a copy of your return flight ticket to your country of origin.
• There are three types of Jordanian tourist visa:
• Single-entry visa (valid for 1 month) - JOD 40
• Double-entry visa (valid for 3 months) - JOD 60
• Multiple-entry visa (valid for 6 months) - JOD 120
• Foreign nationals are required to declare amounts greater than JOD 10,000 or the equivalent in other currencies at the point of entry.
• All visitors are obligated to register at the nearest police station as soon as they enter Jordan. Failure to do this will attract a fine.
• You are required to provide proof of payment of the visa fee.

• The Jordanian business visa is issued to foreign nationals who intend to travel to Jordan for business purposes.
• An original passport with a minimum validity of 6 months from your intended departure date from Jordan is required for your visa application.
• One signed visa application form must be submitted. You are to submit a recently-taken passport-size photo with the completed visa application form.
• A business cover letter from your employer stating your role in the company, the purpose of your travel to Jordan and how long you will be in Jordan, must be submitted. You should also attach a note of guarantee that your employer or sponsor will be responsible for all your expenses in Jordan.
• If you have an invitation letter from the partner company in Jordan, you should submit it. This letter should show your name and the nature of the work to be done in Jordan.
• You are required to show proof of hotel accommodation for the entire duration of your stay in Jordan.
• You should provide proof of payment of the visa fee.

The official currency of Jordan is the Jordanian dinar (JOD). You are not likely to find places that will accept the Ethiopian birr so you should change to the local currency once you enter the country. Most upmarket restaurants and shops, however, accept US dollars.
