Jordan waives fees

This item appears on page 4 of the July 2015 issue.

On May 6, Jordan announced that it has waived visa fees for most visitors arriving at the airport. 

To qualify for the fee waiver, a visitor must either be entering Jordan through a Jordanian tour operator and spending two consecutive nights in Jordan or, if arriving without booking a trip with a tour operator, must be spending at least three consecutive nights in Jordan.

At land border crossings, Jordan has reduced the fee from JOD40 (near $56) to JOD10 for any visitor who will be spending at least three consecutive nights in Jordan.
