 A coral reef in Aqaba by TheWanderingCamel The Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA for short) has introduced a special Economic Zone visa for Jordan, to be known as an "ASEZ visa". Anybody arriving in Aqaba, whether at the port, at the airport or at the Arava crossing from Israel can get a free visa for Jordan. There is no obligation associated with this visa, providing they leave the country within 15 days and do not need to register their visa for "renewal". Their passports are not subject to any special checks when they leave the Economic Zone. Anybody arriving in Aqaba can if they wish, ask for a normal visa (usual price=10JD) instead of the free ASEZ visa. In this case if they want to stay longer than 15 days they can register at their local police station as per current practice. Anybody holding an ASEZ visa, and wishing to stay longer than 15 days must extend it at the ASEZA office in Aqaba and not with their local police station as holders of a normal visa can do, so remember this and be careful about claiming the ASEZ visa if you will be in Jordan for longer than 15 days. You still have to pay the exit tax when you leave Jordan (5JD) Posted by Lulu Leave a Comment

by THLIN If you want to pass the immigration check quickly, first you need to give your passport to the immigration service in your boat. And then when you arrive the port, you should find some "Foreign" tourists, and make it a group. The official will issue you visa quicker and it's free of charge. The duration is one month which is even longer than that I applied in Queen Alia International Airport. The immigration official is very nice and friendly.
Please wait in line just like sign says" Foreigner" "Arabic" "Jordanian" Please check the photo provided... Leave a Comment
