Jordan visa requirements for American citizens

US citizens need a visa to visit Jordan, and the most common option for short tourist trips is the Jordan Visa on Arrival, which is issued at major airports and most border crossings. Jordan also offers an online eVisa route for travelers who prefer to arrange entry approval in advance. A standard tourist visa for US citizens typically allows a stay of up to 30 days.

iVisa offers one entry document for US travelers:

Jordan Pass: A popular travel package that includes entry to many major attractions (such as Petra) and may waive the visa fee if purchased before arrival and if the traveler stays at least two consecutive nights in Jordan.

General Jordan entry requirements for US travelers are:
A United States passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay
Visa on Arrival approval at entry (of pre-approved eVisa if obtained in advance)
Jordan Pass confirmation (if purchased for visa waiver/attraction entry)
Confirmed onward or return travel ticket
Proof of accommodation and travel itinerary
Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay

Important: Visas are generally not issued on arrival at the King Hussein Bridge (Allenby Bridge), so travelers entering there should arrange their visa in advance.
