Travel to Jordan for Uzbekistan citizenship

A visa is a mandatory requirement for most foreigners to enter Jordan.

Citizens of Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates do not need a tourist visa and can stay in Jordan for 90 days, while citizens of Egypt and the Palestinian territories can stay in Jordan for 30 days.

Entry for such citizens is possible if you have a foreign passport, which is valid for at least 6 months after the day when you plan to leave. 

The only exception is citizens of Lebanon and EU countries (with the exception of Croatia), who can present a valid national identity card (ID card) if they arrive at Aqaba airport on a direct flight from Brussels.
