Tourist Visa from Nigeria to Jordan
- Nigerians looking to travel to Jordan for tourism purposes can apply for the Jordanian tourist visa.
- There are three types of Jordanian tourist visa:
- Single-entry visa: this visa is valid for two months.
- Double-entry visa: this visa is valid for three months.
- Multiple-entry visa: this visa is valid for six months.
- Foreigners are required to declare amounts greater than JOD10,000 or the equivalent in other currencies at entry port.
- Travelers are required to register as soon as they enter the country. Travelers who fail to properly register themselves incur a fine of 1.5 JD (approximately 2 USD) per day beyond their permitted length of stay.
- Travelers seeking to extend their stay beyond the initial time frame are legally required to have an HIV/AIDS test performed at a government medical facility as part of a general medical screening.
- Certain areas of Jordan, including Petra, the Dead Sea, and other tourist areas, are prone to heavy rain and flash flooding from October-February. Roads and bridges may become impassable and the Jordanian government may close tourist areas completely.
- The Jordanian constitution provides for freedom of speech and of the press with some restrictions. Insulting the King or members of the Royal Family may lead to detainment or imprisonment.
- Travelers are advised not to visit Jordan as it is not safe for foreigners, but if you decide to visit anyways ensure you heed to the following:
- Be aware of your surroundings.
- Take appropriate steps to increase your security awareness.
- Be unpredictable in your movements by varying your times and routes.
- Maintain a low profile.
- Avoid contact with any suspicious or unfamiliar objects and immediately report the presence of such objects to local authorities.
