Jordan Pass FAQ
Is the Jordan Pass a Visa?
No, Jordan pass is not a visa, it only waives the visa fees if you stay a minimum of 3 whole nights (4 days) in Jordan? If you leave earlier than 3 nights (customs officials can tell how long you stayed based on your entry stamp date) you will be charged the entry visa fee of JD40 upon departure.
Can I visit sites more than once with the Jordan Pass.
No. The pass provides one single entry (except for Petra when you purchase a multi-day Jordan Pass)
Should I buy my child a Jordan Pass?
That depends on their age. Children under 12 visit sites for free so it does not make sense to buy them one. If you have children over 12 then yes, buy them a pass.
How long can I use the Jordan Pass for?
Once activated and used at the first tourist site you enter, the Pass is valid for 14 days and then it will expire.
