Thailand visa for Jordanians 2026: 30 days visa-free

Jordanians do not need a visa for short tourist or business trips to Thailand and can enter visa-free for up to 30 days. This 30-day allowance has applied since 15 September 2026, replacing the 60-day stay that Jordanian passport holders received before that date.

What changed for Jordanians on 15 September 2026

Before 15 September 2026, Jordanians travelling to Thailand without a visa were allowed to stay for 60 days on entry. A Ministry of Interior regulation that took effect on that date cut this allowance in half, so Jordanian passport holders arriving from 15 September 2026 onward are stamped in for 30 days rather than 60. If you were stamped in before the change took effect, the 60 days already written into your passport still stands; the shorter period only applies to entries made from 15 September 2026. For trip planning, this means Jordanians need to fit sightseeing, business or family visits into a shorter window, and anyone hoping to stay longer should look at an extension or a different visa route rather than assume the old allowance still applies.

Before you fly

Check that your Jordanian passport has at least six months of validity left from your arrival date and at least one blank page, since Thai immigration can refuse entry without both.
Carry proof of funds, since officers can ask Jordanians to show around 20,000 THB per person or 40,000 THB for a family travelling together during spot checks at the border.
Fill in the Digital Arrival Card in the 72 hours before you land, since every Jordanian passenger must complete it regardless of visa status and have the QR code ready for immigration.
If a single 30-day stay will not cover your plans, look into the e-Visa before you leave Jordan, since it is applied for online in advance and processing can take several working days.

Staying longer than 30 days

Jordanians who need more time than the visa-free stamp allows have a few legitimate options. Before your 30 days run out, you can apply at an immigration office inside Thailand for one extension of up to 30 days. If you know in advance that you want a longer single stay, applying for the e-Visa before leaving Jordan gives you 60 days on entry, which can itself be extended once at an immigration office. Jordanians planning remote work or a long course of study can look at the Destination Thailand Visa, which allows repeated stays of up to 180 days over five years. Leaving Thailand and re-entering just to reset the clock is not sustainable, since land crossings under the visa-free rule are capped at two a year.

At the airport

At Suvarnabhumi, Jordanians are not among the nationalities allowed to use the automated e-gates, so you should head to the Foreign Passport counters instead. An immigration officer there will check your passport and stamp you in for your permitted stay. Have the QR code from your Digital Arrival Card ready on your phone or printed, since it is scanned at the counter alongside your passport before you are allowed through. Keep proof of onward travel and funds handy in case an officer asks to see them.

Questions Jordanians ask

Do Jordanians need a visa for Thailand?

No. Since 15 September 2026, Jordanian passport holders can enter Thailand visa-free for tourism or business and receive a 30-day stamp on arrival. Before that date the same visa-free entry gave Jordanians 60 days, so the stay itself is shorter even though a visa is still not required.

How long can Jordanians stay in Thailand without a visa?

Jordanians arriving without a visa since 15 September 2026 are allowed 30 days per visa-free entry. Anyone who entered and was stamped in before that date keeps the 60 days already recorded in their passport, even if part of the trip falls after the change.

Can Jordanians extend their stay in Thailand?

Yes. Jordanians on the 30-day visa-free stamp can apply at an immigration office inside Thailand for one extension of up to 30 days before the stamp expires. Those who entered on an e-Visa can extend their 60-day stay once in the same way, at the same immigration office.

Do Jordanians need to fill in the arrival card?

Yes. Every Jordanian entering Thailand must file the Digital Arrival Card in the 72 hours before landing, whatever visa status they are travelling on. It is free to complete, and the QR code it produces is scanned at immigration alongside your passport, so keep it accessible on arrival.

Flying within three days? Apply for your TDAC

Every foreign passport holder files the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) inside the 72 hours before landing, whatever the visa status. It is free on the Immigration Bureau's portal. Assisted filing checks your details against your passport and emails the QR code, US$29 per traveller.
