Jordan now grants 3-month temporary residency to visitors at the border

Jordan has announced new measures that extend temporary residency for foreign visitors from one month to three months upon arrival at border crossings.

Minister of Interior Mazen Faraya confirmed the change, which applies to all foreign nationals except those entering on work visas.

Previously, travelers were granted one month of temporary residency and had to visit a local security center to extend their stay. Under the new system, visitors receive the full three-month residency stamped directly in their passport at the border.

Why Jordan made this change

The Ministry of Interior introduced these measures to support the national economy. The extended residency period is designed to attract investors, boost tourism, and support medical tourism by giving visitors adequate time to explore opportunities, attractions, and healthcare options in the Kingdom.
