Jordan Transit Visa

by Joseph
(Saudi Arabia)

I am an Indian who working in Saudi Arabia. I will be arriving in Amman from China on 28th of October thru Emirates Airlines and coming to Bahrain on the same day.

I need to meet my friend there in Amman. Is it possible for me to get a transit visa for oneday or just few hours?

If I'm not getting transit visa, then is there any possibility for me to invite my friend to airport and meet?

Answer: What I knew about Jordan transit visas is written on my Visa to Jordan page:

Transit passengers continuing their journey to another country by the same or first connecting aircraft within 24 hours can obtain Transit Visa to Jordan providing they hold valid onward or return documentation and do not leave the airport.

Transit Visas can only be issued at Jordanian airports/airlines and not at embassies or consulates.

This information was derived from the Jordan Tourism Board website but it is not there any more.

So I recommended that you check with the nearest Jordanian diplomatic mission beforehand so that you can plan your short stay in Amman accordingly.
