How this visa is processed
Prior approval from Jordan's Ministry of Interior (restricted nationality), on its electronic visa portal
Philippines is on the Jordanian Ministry of Interior's list of restricted nationalities: its citizens need prior approval to enter and cannot get a visa on arrival, unlike those of non-restricted countries. According to Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the approval is applied for on the Ministry of Interior's electronic application portal, which may ask for more information during processing. It takes about two weeks, the passport must be valid for at least six months and it is advisable to print the approval letter.
