Entry restrictions
Jordan has reopened its international airport.
From December 21, Jordan has suspended all direct air passenger flights to and from the UK. Passengers who have been in the UK within the previous 14 days, including passengers who have passed through the UK in transit, are not permitted to enter Jordan.
Entry requirements
All arriving travelers aged 5 or older must have a medical certificate with a negative Coronavirus (COVID-19) PCR test result issued a maximum of 72 hours prior to arrival. Those without a medical certificate will be subject to medical screening. Travelers will also be re-tested on arrival, and will need to pre-pay the cost of 40JD (approximately $56) online in advance of their flight. Foreign/non-resident travelers must also have a full medical insurance coverage for the duration of their stay.
All travelers must complete an electronic application form 24 hours before departure at Gateway 2 Jordan website. They will receive a confirmation code via email. They will also need to install the "Aman" app for contact tracing while in Jordan. Travelers who have been in, or transited through, a green classified country or region must have a PCR test taken within 5 days prior to departure, and bring the results of the test with them to Jordan.
Travelers will take a second PCR test in Jordanian airports and will wait in designated areas at the airport until test results are available. If the test result is negative and the traveler has not been in contact with an individual who has tested positive inside the aircraft, the traveler will be directed to passport control and will be free to enter the country. In case of a positive result; travelers will be treated according to health protocols outlined by the Ministry of Health and will be transported to one of the approved hospitals for treatment. If the individual is non-Jordanian, they will bear their treatment expenses; however, all passengers are required to carry private international health insurance policies.
Quarantine requirements
Passengers arriving to Jordan are no longer subject to quarantine measures. A negative PCR test within 72 hours of their arrival is, however, required.
Arriving passengers who have been in contact with a positive case inside the aircraft, and who are classified as “people in contact” can either return on board the same aircraft, if possible, or quarantine themselves at their accommodation for 7 days. Another PCR test will be taken on the 6th day of their arrival; if the test result is negative, the quarantine ends after 7 days. Travelers who have been in, or transited through, a yellow and red classified country or region must have a PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to departure and bring the results of the test with them to Jordan. Non-Jordanian nationals who both test positive on arrival at the airport and have valid health insurance will be sent to a quarantine facility at the Dead Sea or a private hospital. In the event that an individual’s insurance does not cover the complete costs of hospital care for the duration of the illness, the Government of Jordan will return the individual to his or her origin country. Note that testing requirements are subject to change with little or no notice.
Transiting rules
International transfer passengers are allowed at Jordanian Airports and require:
•negative PCR test within 72 hours before arrival;
•transfer time does not exceed 6 hours
Arrivals from Turkey, Egypt and Iraq need to have a PCR test from accredited Labs only. A List of accredited Labs can be found on the Gateway 2 Jordan website.
