Yes, Jordanian citizens need a visa for Vietnam when they travel on a Jordanian passport. Jordan is not on Vietnam’s visa exemption list, so the usual choice is the Vietnam visa for Jordanian citizens issued online: a 90-day e-visa costing US$25 for single entry or US$50 for multiple entry, usually ready in about 3 working days.
Jordan allows dual citizenship, and many Jordanians also hold a European, American or other passport. This page explains which second passports help, what to do if your passport has no national number, how the Friday–Saturday weekend affects processing, timing around Ramadan and Eid, flights, costs and who to contact.

Vietnam visa for Jordanian citizens: which passport to use
| Passport or option | Length | Government fee | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| British, German, French or other listed passport | Up to 45 days | Free | Dual citizens on short trips |
| E-visa on your Jordanian passport | Up to 90 days | US$25 / US$50 | Everyone else, and longer trips |
| Visa on arrival (approval letter) | As stated on the letter | US$25 / US$50 cash + letter fee | Some urgent air arrivals |
| Phu Quoc exemption | Up to 30 days | Free | Phu Quoc island only |
- Jordanian and British, German, French, Italian or Spanish: enter on the European passport for up to 45 days, then use the same passport for check-in, entry and exit.
- Jordanian and American, Canadian or Australian: no help here, because those countries also need a visa.
- Passport without a national number: some Jordanian passports are issued without a national number. If yours is one of them, the rules may differ, so contact us before you apply rather than paying a fee that may be refused.
How to apply for a Vietnam visa as a Jordanian citizen
- Check your passport. It must be valid for at least six months after arrival, with blank pages.
- Copy the English spelling of your name from the passport, in the same split between surname and given names. Jordanian names often include the father’s and grandfather’s names, so do not drop them if they are printed in the name fields.
- Prepare a 4×6 cm portrait on a white background, no glasses, plus a full scan of the data page. See our Vietnam visa photo guide.
- Apply on evisa.gov.vn or through our service if you want your form checked before it is sent.
- Choose single or multiple entry and your entry gate from the list of e-visa ports of entry.
When to apply: weekends, Ramadan and Eid
Vietnam is 4 hours ahead of Jordan all year, since Jordan stopped changing its clocks in 2022. Jordan’s weekend is Friday and Saturday, while Vietnam’s immigration office works Monday to Friday, so Friday is a working day in Vietnam but Sunday is not. For example, if you apply on Thursday evening in Amman, Friday counts as your first working day. Read more in our Vietnam visa processing time guide.
- Ramadan, Eid and Tet in 2027: Ramadan is expected to begin around 8 February 2027, two days after Vietnam’s Tet starts. Processing slows or pauses around Tet; in 2026 the pause ran from 14 to 22 February. So for an Eid al-Fitr trip in March, apply in January.
- Summer and Eid al-Adha: the busiest travel periods. Apply at least 2 weeks before you fly.
- Flights: there are no direct flights. Most travelers connect in Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Istanbul.
How much does a Vietnam visa for Jordanian citizens cost
The government fee is US$25 for single entry and US$50 for multiple entry, the same for every nationality. Because the Jordanian dinar is pegged to the US dollar, the amount in dinars hardly changes, although your bank may add a foreign-transaction fee. With a service, you pay the government fee plus a service fee, and the full total appears before payment. Compare all routes in our Vietnam visa cost guide.
Embassies covering both countries
Vietnam for Jordan. There is no Vietnamese embassy in Amman. Instead, a non-resident Vietnamese ambassador is accredited to Jordan; the current one presented his credentials in November 2022. You do not need an embassy for an e-visa.
Jordan for Vietnam. Jordan has no embassy in Hanoi and covers Vietnam through a non-resident ambassador. In an emergency, such as a lost passport, contact the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Worked examples
- Couple from Amman, 2 weeks in Vietnam in July: two single-entry e-visas (US$25 each), connecting through Doha.
- Jordanian-British dual citizen, 3-week holiday: no visa needed on the British passport, because the trip is under 45 days.
- Trader from Irbid buying textiles in Ho Chi Minh City twice in 2 months: one multiple-entry e-visa (US$50) covering both trips within 90 days.
