Moving to Jordan

The India–Jordan corridor connects India with a stable Middle Eastern hub that has long welcomed Indian professionals in healthcare, education, engineering and hospitality. Amman’s growing service economy and Jordan’s role as a regional base for development organisations draw a steady stream of Indian families each year. The move rewards a relocation partner who manages the Indian export side and Jordanian clearance as one continuous process.

A move to Jordan begins at the India end. Export clearance is filed through ICEGATE, the shipping bill prepared under the Customs Act, the AD code registered with the originating port, and the household or office packed for a sea transit that routes through the Red Sea to Aqaba. The Jordanian end is handled by the Jordan Customs Department, which allows returning residents and new arrivals relief on used household goods imported on a transfer-of-residence basis, subject to the shipment matching the residence permit and documentation presented at clearance.

The India–Jordan corridor

Sea freight is the standard mode for household and commercial volumes. Container vessels from Nhava Sheva (JNPT), Mundra and Chennai serve Aqaba — Jordan’s sole seaport, on the Red Sea — usually via a transhipment hub such as Jebel Ali, Salalah or Jeddah, with overall transit times typically in the range of 18 to 30 days depending on connections. Cochin offers an alternative gateway for South Indian origins. From Aqaba, onward road delivery reaches Amman and the rest of the country.

Air freight from Mumbai (BOM), Delhi (DEL), Bengaluru (BLR) or Chennai (MAA) into Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) in Amman serves moves on a tighter timeline. Direct and one-stop services place a shipment in Jordan quickly, and air is well suited to smaller, urgent consignments. The cost premium over sea is substantial, and we help you balance speed against budget for the volume you are moving.

Who moves on this corridor

This single corridor serves the full range of moves. Household relocations bring doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers and hospitality staff and their families settling in Amman. Business and office moves cover Indian companies and NGOs establishing a regional presence, relocating staff and equipment. Commercial freight covers trade samples, project cargo and exhibition material between the two markets.

Where we deliver in Jordan

We move regularly to Jordan’s major cities and their surrounding areas: Amman, the capital and the destination for most relocations; Zarqa and the industrial north; Irbid in the agricultural highlands; Aqaba on the Red Sea coast; and the Dead Sea and Madaba areas. If your destination lies outside these centres, ask us — we deliver across the whole country.

How your move works

1. India-side survey. We assess volume and contents at your home or office in India — in person in major cities or by video — and return a clear quote with sea and air options and realistic Aqaba or Amman arrival windows.
2. Export documentation. Indian export paperwork is prepared: shipping bill filed through ICEGATE, AD code confirmed, packing list, invoice and any FEMA-related declarations relevant to your move.
3. Pack and dispatch. Our crew packs to export standard from your India origin, and the shipment is booked and dispatched on the confirmed route to Aqaba or Queen Alia International.
4. Clear and deliver in Jordan. We manage Jordan Customs Department clearance, advise on transfer-of-residence relief, and coordinate onward road delivery to your address.
