He clarified that the procedures include allowing foreign nationals and Arabs residing in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and all European countries to enter the Kingdom without the need for prior approvals, provided they hold valid residence in those countries for no less than four months. Al-Majali also highlighted that these measures include Syrian nationals residing in European countries, with the scope of included European countries expanded to include all European nations, rather than just EU member states. He pointed out that nationals of South Sudan and Libya will be allowed to enter the Kingdom without prior approvals, in an effort to simplify procedures related to medical tourism and increase the benefits derived from Jordan's positive reputation in the healthcare field.

A five-year multiple-entry visa will be granted, with a stay of up to three months per visit through border centers without the need to visit security centers.
