The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is one of the top tourism, religious, and business destinations for Sudanese travelers, whether visiting historic sites like Petra and the Dead Sea, or traveling for medical treatment, study, or business. According to Jordan's Ministry of Interior official nationality classification, Sudanese passport holders fall under the category of nationalities requiring prior approval before travel — a category distinct from nationalities eligible for a visa on arrival. In other words, Sudanese travelers cannot arrive in Jordan without a visa already secured; the application must be submitted through a Jordanian embassy or consulate, or via the prior-approval process managed by Jordan's Ministry of Interior.
At Baeed Travel & Tourism, we help you understand this process and navigate it confidently — from preparing the correct file, to liaising with the relevant Jordanian authority, to following up your application until approval is issued.
