The Kingdom of Jordan, home to the ancient city of Petra and the therapeutic Dead Sea, requires Nigerian citizens to obtain a visa before entry. We at iVisa understand the complexities of international travel documentation and provide comprehensive assistance for Nigerian travelers seeking to visit Jordan.
Understanding Jordan visa requirements for Nigerians
- A valid Nigerian passport with at least 6 months validity from the intended arrival date
- Two blank passport pages for visa stamps
- Completed visa application form
- Recent passport-sized photographs (45 × 35 mm with white background)
- Proof of sufficient funds for the stay
- Hotel reservations and return flight tickets
Since Nigeria is not among the exempt countries, all Nigerian citizens must apply for a visa to enter Jordan. Each passport must have a visa of its own associated with it. Minors who cannot apply alone will need their parent or guardian to do so on their behalf.

Our streamlined application process helps Nigerian travelers navigate the requirements efficiently. Here's what you need to prepare:

Jordanian authorities have lifted restrictions on entry to the country, such as the need to present a negative PCR test upon arrival or a vaccination certificate. As you plan your trip to Jordan, you will only need to purchase an international health insurance plan that covers any COVID-19 risk and a health plan.
Pro Tip: Based on customer feedback, applying during weekdays between 8 AM and 2 PM Jordan time often results in faster processing times.
