Turkish citizens do not need a visa for Jordan, enjoying visa-free stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism and business.

Turkish passport holders are visa-exempt for up to 90 days within a 180-day rolling period under a bilateral agreement. An eVisa (40 JOD) may be useful for stays over 90 days, multiple entries, or employer records and lets you skip visa-on-arrival queues at immigration.

Do Turkish Citizens Need a Visa for Jordan in 2026?
Turkish ordinary and official passport holders are exempt for up to 90 days within any 180-day rolling period for tourism and business. No pre-travel application is needed.
The Jordan e visa for Turks becomes relevant when you need a documented entry permit for stays exceeding 90 days, multiple entries, or employer compliance records. An approved eVisa also lets you skip visa-on-arrival queues at immigration.
Jordan Pass saves Turkish citizens 0 JOD on visa fees. It’s only worthwhile if you visit paid attractions worth more than 70 JOD.
Jordan Visa Fees for Turkish Citizens
Visa-free Turkish travellers pay 0 JOD for entry; an optional eVisa or a 40 JOD single-entry visa on arrival is available for documented permits or longer stays.
| Visa Type | Fee (JOD) | Fee (approx. GBP)* | Validity | Duration of Stay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visa-free entry (Turkish citizens) | 0 JOD | £0 | N/A | Up to 90 days |
| Single-entry eVisa / VoA | 40 JOD | ~£44 | 1 month | Up to 30 days |
| Double-entry eVisa / VoA | 60 JOD | ~£66 | 1 month | Up to 30 days |
| Extended tourist visa (eVisa) | Varies | Varies | 3 months | Up to 90 days |
*Approximate GBP at ~1.1 GBP/JOD. Check current rate before payment.
Payment on the eVisa portal at eservices.moi.gov.jo accepts Visa and Mastercard credit/debit cards, including Turkish-issued bank cards. No PayPal or local Turkish payment alternatives are available.
Is the Jordan Pass Worth It for Turkish Citizens?
The Jordan Pass saves Turkish citizens 0 JOD on visa fees since they are already exempt, making it worthwhile only if you visit 3+ paid attractions.
| Jordan Pass Tier | Price (JOD) | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| 1-day Petra | 70 JOD | 1-day Petra entry + attractions |
| 2-day Petra | 75 JOD | 2-day Petra entry + attractions |
| 3-day Petra | 80 JOD | 3-day Petra entry + attractions |
Break-even: Petra only (50 JOD entry) makes the 70 JOD Pass not worth it. Multi-attraction trips (Petra 50 JOD + Jerash 10 JOD + Wadi Rum 5 JOD = 65 JOD) approach break-even. Five or more paid attractions save money. A 3-night minimum stay is required. Source: jordanpass.jo.

Can I Enter Jordan with a Turkish Emergency Passport?
Jordan’s eVisa system generally requires a biometric passport. Turkish emergency passports (*geçici pasaport*) may not register in the electronic system. Contact the Jordanian Embassy in Ankara before travelling; the embassy visa route (paper/sticker visa) requires 3+ weeks lead time and is the safer option for non-biometric passport holders.
