This was a disaster. We didn't make it over the boarder crossing King Hussein Bridge/ Allenby Bridge as they didn't accept the Jordanian visa we obtained through the walking tour group we were doing other stuff with later in our stay in Jordan. The visa we obtained was a Collective Visa which is a valid visa but only allows you to cross the border from the southern or northern border crossings - not valid for the King Hussein Bridge/ Allenby Bridge. Crazy! We didn't know about the different visas you don't know what you don't know and therefore thought we were fine we answered yes to the questions we were asked by the Jordanian travel agency - not once did they ask if we had a Collective visa that was arranged by the walking tour group we hiked with in Jordan we thought it was paid for as part of our tour price. The agency just asked if we had a paid visa which we thought we had with the Collective visa until we fronted the boarder crossing people and were turned away. The same issue happened with another person we met. You MUST have a paid-up Visa - i.e. pay 40JOD at the airport or where you crossed into Jordan._br/_ In the end we lots our money full price! and a lot of time. We were very distressed by the whole experience.
