Jordan reduces and unifies departure fees for non- nationals

The Jordanian Cabinet has decided to reduce the departure fees for non- Jordanians who travel through the airports and to unify these fees on all crossing. This measure aims at encouraging investment and tourism.

Jordanian official sources reported that the Jordanian cabinet decided to have the departure fees due to be paid by non- Jordanians at airports and land and sea crossing estimated at US $ 7 after it was US $ 14 in the past.

By the end of August, the Jordanian Cabinet permitted some 20 Arab and foreign nationals to obtain entry visa to Jordan from the Kingdom's crossing instead of Jordan's embassies abroad.
