Visafar / EU residence permit / Tanzania / Jordan
Can Tanzanian passport holders with an EU/EEA residence permit enter Jordan?
Yes. With a valid EU residence permit, Tanzanian passport holders can enter Jordan with a visa on arrival. On the passport alone they would need a visa.

Conditions
- For nationalities that normally need Jordan's prior approval: you can get a visa on arrival without it if you hold a Schengen or US visa valid for at least 6 more months, or residence in the US, Canada, a Gulf (GCC) state, the EU, a Scandinavian country or the UK valid for at least 6 more months.
- Arriving by air on a residence permit, you need a return ticket.
- A UK visa does not count on its own; only UK residence does.
- Not available to Nigerian, Iranian or Bangladeshi passport holders, or to holders of travel documents (except the Vatican's): they always need prior approval.
- Residence in Australia, Japan or South Korea also counts, but Visafar doesn't track those permits yet.
- A Jordan Times report says the residence validity needed by Gulf residents was cut to 4 months; the Ministry's own page still says 6, so Visafar uses 6.
- The Ministry doesn't state the length of stay for this route; confirm it on arrival.
Also accepted instead of an EU/EEA residence permit: Schengen visa, US visa, US Green Card, Canadian PR, GCC residence permit, UK residence permit.
