US passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) in Amman. The single-entry tourist visa costs JOD 40 (about $56) and allows stays up to 30 days. Pay in cash (JOD, USD, or EUR) at the visa counter before the immigration line. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. A better deal is the Jordan Pass (jordanpass.jo), which costs JOD 70 to JOD 80 ($99 to $113) depending on the Petra option and includes the visa fee plus entry to 40+ tourist sites including Petra, Jerash, and Wadi Rum. Purchase the Jordan Pass online before arrival and present it at immigration to skip the visa counter entirely.
The Jordan Pass waives the visa fee only if you stay at least 3 consecutive nights in Jordan. The 30-day stay can be extended at any police station in Jordan for free, up to a total of 6 months. Register at the nearest police station if staying more than 30 days. Petra requires a full day minimum: the walk from the entrance through the Siq to the Treasury takes 25 minutes, and the Monastery adds another 45-minute climb. Wadi Rum desert camps offer overnight stays for JOD 25 to JOD 60 ($35 to $85) per person including dinner and a jeep tour.
