Opinion on Jordan is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 2 to level 3. Seven of the eleven take the stricter view, and the remaining four see no cause for it. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.
Every government here has revisited Jordan within the past year, the oldest review being South Korea's in March 2026, so the disagreement is not simply a matter of one source lagging behind.
The warnings for Jordan are not uniform across the country. 17 distinct areas are singled out by at least one government. Among them: Designated Syrian refugee camps in Jordan and Rusayfah city. At least one of these carries the highest possible rating, meaning a government advising against all travel there while rating the rest of the country lower.
The level 3 rating from seven of the eleven governments carries practical weight even if your own government is more relaxed — insurers commonly price against, or exclude, travel contrary to official advice, so the rating that matters most is the one issued for your passport.
