Jordan And Russia Announce Mutual Visa-Exemption Allowing Tourists To Stay Up To 30 Days

Here’s a bit of good news for travel lovers. Jordan and Russia have shaken hands on a new visa-waiver agreement that makes it easier for tourists to hop between these two nations. Forget the days of last-minute visa runs or airport queues for a stamp. Now, citizens from both countries can enjoy up to 30 days of travel without the need for a visa. Jordan and Russia have signed a visa-waiver agreement allowing tourists from both countries to enjoy stays without a visa, with visits capped at 90 days per year. The move aims to boost tourism and strengthen bilateral ties.

Jordan And Russia Seal Visa-Free Deal for 30-Day Tourist Stays

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed this visa-waiver agreement, making it easy for tourists to pack their bags and explore the nation without the hassle of documents. Now you can roam around Petra’s ancient paths or take a stroll on Moscow’s Red Square. This deal cuts the hassle. The arrangement allows travellers from both sides to stay up to 30 calendar days per visit. What’s the catch? You can’t overstay your welcome. The total time you spend in the other country shouldn’t exceed 90 days in a year.

Before this, Russian travellers heading to Jordan could get a visa on arrival at the airport. But a single-entry visa costs 40 Jordanian dinars (roughly $60) and gave you up to a month’s stay. But who wouldn’t prefer skipping that step altogether? 

Perks For Tourists

This decision will prove to be a smart move for tourists. Also, it encourages cultural exchange and strengthens ties between Jordan and Russia. We could expect a boom in business for tour operators, airlines, and the hospitality sector. An increase in travellers and busier hotels, restaurants, and guides will be reported soon by both the nations. It’s a win-win situation for all.
