Jordan offers Visa on Arrival for Indian nationals

Jordan now offers ‘Visa on Arrival’ to Indian nationals at all border crossings valid for a period of 30 days. The only document they should possess is proof of onward journey or return ticket.

If they wish to, Indians can also continue to receive visas directly through Jordanian diplomatic missions before they travel.

Jordan boasts 21,000 archaeological and historical sites that span millennia. They include the Roman ruins of Jerash, the Dead Sea and Wadi Al-Kharrar, or Bethany Beyond the Jordan, where some biblical historians believe Jesus was baptised.

Such sites are helping to attract a growing number of tourists from Asian countries including Malaysia, Indonesia, China and India. In an attempt to diversify, the kingdom has sought to become a regional hub of medical tourism.

Medical tourism now directly employs 35,000 people in Jordan. The majority of patients come from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Syria and the Palestinian territories.
