in demand for electronic entry visas to the UK, particularly among Jordanians

eagerness of Jordanians for this visa surpassed expectations.

The report noted that since February 1st, thousands of
Jordanians have found relief in this step, especially those looking for work
and stability in the UK. Jordanians can apply online and obtain a two-year
visit
visa to British territories for only JD8, within three days, Khaberni
reported.
The
British Embassy in Amman stated that Jordan's inclusion
in the list of beneficiaries of this visa translates the close relations
between London and Amman, encouraging tourism and investment. However,
observers expect London to backtrack on this decision if large numbers violate
the strict conditions and instructions.
Despite the increased cost of the visa by travel agencies,
this has not prevented Jordanians from obtaining the visa, which has not yet
come into effect. Most young Jordanians want to travel in search of work,
despite this being against the conditions, under a strict and complex residency
system in British territories.
According to the Jordanian embassy in London, around 3,000
Jordanians are registered, mostly students. The British
Medical Council (GMC)
reported an increase in the migration of Jordanian doctors to Britain, with a
470 percent increase. Jordanian doctors rank fourth globally and first among
Arabs in visiting doctors to Britain, with 427 visiting doctors.
Furthermore, the British Embassy in Amman mentioned that the
system allows all Jordanians to apply for permission to travel to the UK for
short visits from February 22, making travel easier and cheaper, strengthening
ties between London and Amman, and promoting tourism, investment, and cultural
exchange.
Regarding concerns about the influx of illegal labor into
the UK, the embassy stated that the
Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) visa
allows individuals to travel to the UK, but upon arrival, they still need
permission from employees or use an electronic portal based on their answers to
a set of questions.
