Overview

Explore Jordan...​ 

Jordan is known for its ancient history, including the archaeological wonder of Petra, and its role as a crossroads of civilisations.

Fun Fact: The lowest point recorded on earth is in Jordan, in the Dead Sea, located 420 metres below sea level. Its water is ten times saltier than the ocean, making it incredibly buoyant, so you can effortlessly float on the surface.

Asia

Asia is the largest and most populous continent, covering about 30% of the Earth’s land area and home to more than 4.7 billion people, roughly 60% of the global population. It is traditionally divided into several regions, each with distinct cultures, languages, and historical influences. Known for its vast diversity, Asia is home to major world economies like China, India, and Japan, as well as iconic landmarks such as the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, and the Arabian Desert, while also being a centre of innovation, rich traditions, and some of the oldest continuous civilisations on Earth.

Visa applications? Not exactly riveting, but often essential and always unavoidable.

We’ve done the research and pulled everything together to save you time, effort, and energy.

In the tabs, you can check if your child or student needs a visa for their trip. If they do, you’ll find clear guidance, embassy links, required documents, and step-by-step instructions.

And when it comes to submitting the application, parents really are best placed. After all, no one knows the travelling student better.

Parents should ensure that their child's documents meet the official travel requirements for Jordan.

If your child holds multiple passports and plans to travel with one, while their UAE residency visa is linked to another, please make sure they carry both passports during their trip! 

Review the sample documents and the relevant official checklists to ensure that all specific criteria are met.
