An exciting journey between two different regions in the world has begun at the same time as you travel from the farthest point of the globe to the historical Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. In 2026, Fijians will have the option to use an upgraded entry system that will enable them to visit such places as the rose-red city of Petra, the healing waters of the Dead Sea and the great desert of Wadi Rum more easily.
To have a successful arrival into Jordan, it’s imperative that you become familiarized with the requirements associated with processing your Jordan eVisa from Fiji. In this guide, you’ll find details on all aspects of the application process, including application processing times and driving rules, which will prepare you for your upcoming adventure in the Middle East.
Is a visa compulsory for Fijian passport holders traveling to Jordan?
Yes, a visa is compulsory for all Fijian passport holders. Jordan does not offer visa-free entry to citizens of Fiji. Every traveler, including infants and business visitors, must possess a valid entry permit to pass through Jordanian immigration.
In 2026, the Jordanian government continued to offer two primary paths for Fijians: The traditional Visa on Arrival (VoA) and the more efficient eVisa. While the VoA is available at most borders, the eVisa is highly recommended to avoid long manual payment queues and potential document scrutiny at the airport.
Are citizens of Fiji eligible to apply for a Jordan Visa before departure?
Absolutely. Citizens of Fiji are eligible to apply for a Jordan eVisa entirely online before leaving Suva or Nadi. This digital authorization is linked to your passport, making it the most modern and “user-friendly” way to travel.
By applying before departure, you receive an electronic approval notice that you can present to your airline and Jordanian immigration. Additionally, many Fijian travelers choose to purchase the Jordan Pass—an all-in-one digital pass that covers the cost of your entry visa and provides free access to over 40 tourist sites, provided you stay in the country for at least three nights.
What documents must travelers from Fiji submit to obtain a Jordan Visa?
For travelers from Fiji, a valid passport is required to enter Jordan. The passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the entry date. It should be in good condition and have at least one blank page for entry and exit stamps.
Which Jordan visa categories can visitors from Fiji choose from?
The 2026 Jordan visa system is highly flexible, offering categories based on how many times you plan to enter and how long you intend to stay:
What is the typical processing timeframe for a Jordan Visa from Fiji?
Time is of the essence when planning international travel. For the Jordan eVisa from Fiji, there are now three clear processing options to suit your schedule:
Standard Processing:2 – 4 Working Days. This is the best choice for travelers who have their trip planned well in advance.
Rush Processing:1 – 2 Working Days. A reliable option for those who may have forgotten to apply until the final week before departure.
Super Rush Processing:12 – 24 Hours. The emergency choice for last-minute trips or urgent business needs.
Can travelers from Fiji drive in Jordan, and do they need an International Driving Permit?
Yes, travelers from Fiji are permitted to drive in Jordan, but you cannot rely solely on your Fiji driver’s license. To drive legally:
International Driving Permit (IDP): You must carry an IDP (1949 Geneva Convention style) alongside your original Fiji license.
Driving Side: Be aware that in Jordan, you drive on the right side of the road, which is the opposite of Fiji.
Rental Rules: Most rental agencies require you to be at least 25 years old. Always ensure you have local insurance coverage.
What steps should visitors from Fiji take if their passport or Jordan eVisa is lost?
Losing documents abroad is a challenge, but easily managed if you follow these steps:
Report the Loss: Immediately visit the nearest Jordanian police station to obtain a “Loss Report.”
Contact Fiji Authorities: Since there is no permanent Fiji embassy in Amman, you should contact the Fiji High Commission in Abu Dhabi or the Fiji Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Suva) for an Emergency Travel Document.
Recovering the eVisa: Because your eVisa is digital, you can simply re-download it from your email.
How can minors from Fiji apply for a Jordan eVisa, and what paperwork is needed?
Minors (children under 18) must have their own separate passports and individual eVisa applications. They cannot be included on a parent’s visa.
Required Paperwork:
A separate, valid Fiji passport for the child.
Birth Certificate: A copy to prove parental relationship.
Consent Letter: If the minor is traveling with only one parent or a guardian, a notarized consent letter from the non-traveling parent(s) is mandatory for border control.
What child age regulations apply to families from Fiji traveling to Jordan?
Families should note that Jordan is very child-friendly.
Children Under 12: If the family uses the Jordan Pass, the entry fees for many historical sites are waived for children under 12.
Passport Validity: Ensure the child’s passport meets the same 6-month validity rule as adults.
Visa Fees: Every person entering Jordan, regardless of age, must pay the visa fee (either through the eVisa system or the Jordan Pass).
Is there an option for group Jordan eVisa applications for travelers from Fiji?
Yes, the online eVisa allows for group applications. If you are traveling as a family or a group of five or more friends, you can apply together.
Additionally, groups of 5 or more travelers organized by a licensed Jordanian tour operator may be eligible for a visa fee waiver, provided they stay at least two nights in Jordan and arrive/depart as a collective unit.
Can a Jordan Visa be changed or converted to a visa on arrival for Fijian travelers?
No, the two systems are independent. If you have already applied and paid for a Jordan eVisa, it cannot be “converted” into a Visa on Arrival.
While Fijian citizens can technically obtain a Visa on Arrival at the airport (currently 40 JOD or approx. 125 FJD), you will be required to pay the fee again. To avoid double-paying and to benefit from the “Fast Track” lanes, it is best to wait for your eVisa approval or use the Jordan Pass.
Your Next Step
Jordan is ready to welcome you! With the “Super Rush” option, your entry could be approved in as little as 12 hours.
