Your site says that one can get a visa apon arriving by air in Jordan. What if one arrives overland, can you get a visa at the border?

If you are arriving from Israel and thru the Allenby Bridge into Jordan you will need a visa prior to arrival from the Embassy.
If you come in from Eilat or Sheik Hussein bridge then you can get a visa upon arrival. Also when arriving via plane you can visa at the airport -
Only crossing Allenby Bridge no visa

Dear Hans,

I am reading here that you were by car in Saudi Arabia in May. How did you come in Saudi Arabia by car? Did you have a transit visa? How to arrange this?
Next year we would like to drive from Oman back to Holland through UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan etc. I hope you have soms usefull tips.

My friend and I will be travelling to Syria by car from Beirut. We are both Australians, can we get a visa at the Syrian/Lebanese border? We then want to travel through Syria to Jordan also by car or bus, can we also get a visa at the border for Jordan? We only have approx dates that we will arrive into Beirut on the 24th September and then will leave around the 29th September into Syria and around the 3rd October into Jordan.
Many thanks for your help.

Hi Nienie
We were not yet in Jordan. We plan to drive from Cape Town to Amsterdam (in April/May next year) via o.a. Sudan were we wil cross the Red Sea to Saudi Arabia and than drive on to Jordan, Syria etc.
I heard from people who did the same trip that you cannot get a visa for Saudi if you don't have a visa for the next country you want to visit (in our case Jordan). They want to make sure that you are leaving the country.

Hello Hans,
Thanks for your reaction. That's what we also heard from people coming from Sudan. We can't find stories yet of crossing the Saudi border from the UAE. But we are now trying to find out how to arrange the Jordan visa in advance. Have fun preparing your trip!!
