Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Jordan has waived visa fees for tourists of all nationalities coming through Jordanian tour operators, whether travelling individually or in groups. However, the condition is that the traveller spends a minimum of two consecutive nights in the country. Further, the Jordanian government has reduced visa fees for tourists entering through land borders, from JOD 40 to JOD 10, on the condition that the tourist spends a minimum of three consecutive nights. Both these measures, taken to improve tourism in the nation, have taken effect, as per a release.

The decisions were made following a meeting of Nayef Hmeidi Al-Fayez, Tourism Minister of Jordan, with His Majesty King Abdullah II bin al-Hussein and Her Majesty Queen Raina of Jordan.

Among other decisions are waiving the Departure Tax and entry visa for all low-cost and charter flights taking off from King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba, and reduction in electricity tariffs for the hotel sector, which is aimed to make the hospitality sector more competitive in the region.
