Can I go to Israel with a Jordanian visa on my UK passport?
I travelled to Jordan on business with my UK passport and it was stamped on arrival. Will I have challenges later going to Israel or if I can go to Israel with the Jordanian stamp, will I have challenges returning to Jordan at a later date?
Best Answer
Yes, you can enter Israel or Jordan after visiting the other without problems. The two signed a peace treaty in 1994 and have permitted travel to each other ever since.
Of course, you may be questioned in Israel about what you were doing in Jordan, but if you went there for legitimate business reasons, you'll be fine.

Do UK citizens need a visa to visit Israel?
All travellers. You don't need a visa to enter Israel/The Occupied Palestinian Territories as a tourist. On entry, visitors are granted permission to stay for a period of up to 3 months. Visitors entering via Tel Aviv Ben Gurion Airport are given an entry card instead of an entry stamp in their passport.Can a Jordanian visit Israel?
Israel tourist visa is required for Jordanian citizens. The stay is usually short with a period of 90 days and visa expires in 90 days. Applicant is required to be present when applying for Israel tourist visa.Do I need a visa to enter Israel from Jordan?
Always make sure you have six months of passport validity in order to enter from Jordan into Israel, as well as a blank page which is required for the entry stamp. You can obtain a 3 month visa upon arrival for Israel through Sheikh Hussein Crossing.Can I visit Israel after Jordan?
The border at the Allenby crossing (between Jordan and Israel) is notoriously stringent. But again, if you're visiting Israel for genuine tourist reasons, you'll be OK at any crossing. So yes, Israel will let any genuine tourist in, regardless of the stamps in their passport.Israel Travel: Passport Stamp \u0026 Border Crossing Explained

Answer 2
Yes, you can enter Israel, but be prepared for the possibility of getting grilled hardcore at Israeli immigration for having been to Jordan (they can be even worse than the US at times - I experienced it even though I am Swedish and have never been to an Arab country).
Not saying it will happen, but it could. Bring as much documentation as possible proving the purpose of your Jordan visit
Entering Jordan after Israel is 100% fine, and not just due to the fact that Israel doesn't stamp passports anymore (at Ben Gurion at least).
Answer 3
You can enter Israel directly from Jordan. There are three open border crossings and I myself crossed into Eilat, Israel from Aqaba, Jordan at the Yitzhak Rabin crossing between the two sister cities. Obviously, being a European, I had a Jordanian visa, entry and exit stamp in my passport. If the direct crossing is possible, entering Israel at a later date is possible, too.
When having entered Jordan, about three-quarters of the group I was with had been to Israel three years prior. Nobody had any issues entering Jordan whatsoever. Furthermore, our guide — a professor of theology at the university of Innsbruck — semi-regularly visits both these countries on a single passport.
We (i.e. mainly the guide, but a little cross-checking was performed) were asked quite a few questions about what we were doing in Jordan. I’ll imagine, if you turn up at Tel Aviv airport immigration at a later date than just after exiting Jordan, they will have more. It’ll probably raise a questioning flag for them but not necessarily a red one.
Israel does not stamp passports a lot anymore. Tel Aviv airport seems to be fully equipped for only supplying you pieces of paper instead of passport stamps. When I crossed the border into Israel at Eilat, I got a stamp but I have since read here that others (who did the trip at an earlier date) received a paper instead. I’m pretty sure you can specifically request a paper rather than a stamp at each port of entry.
