This service offers exclusive "VIP" waiting areas, help with immigration, security, and luggage, along with a van shuttle connecting the terminals. Typically, clients are prioritized at the front of any lines. The VIP service can significantly reduce frustration and expedite the crossing process, especially during busy times, making it a more comfortable experience. Please let us know in advance if you wish to utilize the VIP service, and our driver will take you straight to the VIP Service office at the border.
When traveling from Amman to Jerusalem, the VIP service eliminates the wait for the shuttle bus between the Jordanian and Israeli terminals, as a van is provided. Additionally, the VIP service allows you to bypass all queues for security checks and immigration procedures, which can save you a lot of time and hassle. However, please be aware that the VIP service does not reduce the number of immigration checks, and you may still experience delays if the authorities have questions for you.
When traveling from Jerusalem to Amman, the VIP service helps you avoid waiting in line for immigration and eliminates the need to wait for the shuttle bus from the Israeli to the Jordanian terminal, as a van transfer is included. It also reduces your waiting time at the immigration service in the Jordanian terminal.
In general, our advice regarding the VIP Crossing Service is:
Use the shuttle bus if you find the cost of the VIP service to be too high.
If you’re willing to spend a little extra to save time and avoid hassle, consider the VIP service from Amman to Jerusalem.
If budget is not a concern, we recommend using the VIP service for both trips: from Amman to Jerusalem and from Jerusalem to Amman.
ETA-IL refers to the Electronic Travel Authorization for Israel. This digital travel permit enables tourists and business travelers from countries that do not require a visa to visit Israel for short stays, usually up to 90 days. It works like the U.S. ESTA or Canada’s eTA, providing pre-approval for entry at the border, but it does not ensure entry, as border control officers make the final decision upon arrival.
Operating Hours:
Sunday – Thursday: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm (final entry at 1:30 pm)
Friday: 8:00 am – 3:30 pm (final entry at 11:30 am)
Saturday – Closed
The border crossing will not be operational on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) and the Muslim New Year (Ra’s al-Sana al-Hijriyah).
Additionally, opening hours may vary on other Jewish, Muslim, and national holidays. These holidays are typically announced at the start of the year.
Exit Taxes
When departing from either side of the border, an exit tax is required to be paid upon leaving the country.
The exit tax for departing from Jordan is 10 JOD (approx. 14 USD).
The exit Israel for departing from Israel is 208 ILS (approx. 67 USD)
