Summary

If you are enrolled at a qualifying university or institute in Jordan, the institution may be able to apply for annual student residence for you. Whether you need this permit depends on your nationality and any residence status you already hold.

Could this pathway work for you?

Eligibility

Your university or institute must confirm your enrollment and submit the application. Ask it to check whether your nationality requires residence permission or whether an exemption applies.

You need a valid passport, entry record, and enrollment evidence. Renewal also requires the previous residence record. If you use a travel document rather than a national passport, you may need evidence of residence and permission to return to another country.

Ask the international-student office for the checklist for your course, nationality, and location. Confirm any financial, medical, or background documents, translation and authentication requirements, and whether approval is needed before departure. If you already have another residence status, ask whether student residence is necessary.

Arrange student residence with your institution
  1. Confirm whether you need a permit Ask the institution to check your course, nationality, and current status.
  2. Gather the records Prepare your passport, entry and enrollment records, and other required documents.
  3. Have the institution apply Arrange the required entry approval and student residence application.
  4. Plan for expiry Check the permit's conditions and prepare renewal or another option before it ends.

The institution applies for student residence. Admission alone does not give you permission to enter or stay.

What This Route Allows

If approved, the permit lets you live in Jordan for your studies for one year. You must continue to meet the enrollment and residence requirements. Ask when the institution can provide renewal documents and apply before the permit expires.

What This Route Is Not

Student residence does not give permission to take a local job. An admission letter does not itself grant entry, residence, or a right to stay permanently after graduation. Check nationality-based exemptions and visa requirements with the institution before paying for a course.

Next Steps

  1. Confirm admission and ask whether you need student residence for your nationality and current status.
  2. Prepare your passport, entry and enrollment records, proof of financial support, and any other documents on the checklist.
  3. Arrange any required entry approval and have the institution submit the residence application.
  4. Check the permit's expiry date and restrictions, and plan renewal or your next residence option before the course ends.
