Duration of Jordanian visa - What's the latest?

Single entry tourist visa for JOrdan is valid for one month.
The 14 days duration mentioned is the time that you need to go and apply to the police office to extend your visa if you wish to stay in the country longer than one month.
cheers

As stated by MP: 30 days and you can get an extension of 30 days for free through the police.
If you overstay the 30 days without extension , you will have to pay a fine of JD1.5 per day of overstay. This fee will be collected from you at the airport when you depart.

Thanks #1 and 2. If the single entry visa is valid for one month, why is it that all the sources I mentioned above (including the Jordanian consulate in my country) state - only yesterday - that it is only 'for 2 weeks but easily extendable at the nearest police station'? And no, when they refer to 2 weeks, it is clear that they are not talking about the extension after the one month period expires, but the visa issued initially upon arrival.

Have the rules recently changed, and when did you get your one-month visa issued upon arrival?

Sorry, one more question - Everyone says the visa is 'easily' extendable at the nearest police station, so really, how 'easy' is it? Can I really just rock up at any odd police station and ask for an extension, and will they extend it on the spot for me? Or will I have to wait a day or so and then go back to collect it? Thanks.

YOu can apply for extension visa and get it within an hour.Ask your hotel for the nearest police station and ask them to give you a letter to confirm accommodation at the hotel.
The visa rule has been for many years.Yes you can get visa on arrival valid for one month.
The visa rule on 2 weeks mentioned is that you can apply for the extention within that time ,but it is inot automatically granted.That is why it states 2 weeks.It is up to the police who still have the right to grant the extention or not.

all the sources I mentioned above (including the Jordanian consulate in my country)

==============================================================
Experience on this forum has shown that embassies and consulates of many countries all over the world usually do not know about these things (border crossing procedures, visas not granted through the consulate, etc.). Not knowing is excusable. Pretending you do know isn't. :)

Depends upon your Nationality also ,,, US, Europeans, Canadians, Aussies - 1 month.. others vary.

Mesha good to see you back on forum.
I trust you are fine and well

Thank you all. The consensus within this forum is clearly one month then - and yes, I am in one of the categories of people eligible for a one month visa according to #7.

#6 - I'm starting to feel you're right about this. Pretending to know when they don't is of course a problem, but a more serious problem is that these people are meant to be the most authoritative (and in fact, the only reliable) source of this information. The fact that they don't know these things themselves makes a mockery of what governments and travel agents always say like a mantra: 'visa requirements may change without notice... always ask the embassy / consulate for the latest information'.

The official sources may well have a reason for telling people the visa is only for 2 weeks even though they know it is valid for one month, but the reason suggested by #5 seems bizarre. I dare say the vast majority of regular tourists would not need a Jordanian visa for longer than one month, so why would the authorities deliberately mislead tourists into believing their visa is only for 2 weeks so that they all panic and rush to extend their visa before the 2-week mark? Anyway, thanks for the advice re. the extension process, which really helps.
