  "description": "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates' (MFA) bilingual (English/Arabic) \"Visa Application to Enter the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan\" form, distributed as a free download from MFA's own document host. Closes Jordan's Visa vertical (3 of 6), following GOV-2731's Taxes opening (49th jurisdiction) and GOV-2739's Passport vertical. The source is a genuine 2-page print-and-fill specimen — confirmed via pdfjs-dist to carry zero AcroForm/Widget annotations on either page — with a real, fully extractable bilingual text layer; every text item's (x, y) transform was grouped into rows and read in full, and both pages were also rendered to PNG via pdfjs-dist (legacy build) + node-canvas (with the bundled standard-fonts data supplied, since this specimen also relies on non-embedded base fonts) and visually cross-checked against the transcript before modeling any field. The rendered image confirmed a boxed, consular-only \"For Official Use\" sidebar running the full height of page 1 (submitted-documents checklist, receiving officer, receipt date, amount paid, decision to grant single/double/multiple-entry or refuse, notes) — excluded from this schema's fields, consistent with this registry's established convention for office/consular-use-only sections (e.g. jo/istd/pit-return-employee's \"For Official Use\" block, jo/cspd/passport-application's page 2). The applicant-facing structure runs: §1 Personal Details (First name; Father's & grandfather's name; Family name; Current nationality; Mother's name; Sex — printed checkboxes Male/Female; Date of Birth; Place of Birth; Marital status — printed checkboxes Single/Married/Divorced/Widow(er); Education; Name of spouse; Spouse's nationality); §2 Passport Details (Type of Passport — printed checkboxes Ordinary passport/Diplomatic passport/Travel document/Other-please specify, with its own free-text \"specify\" companion; Passport number; Date of issue; Date of expiry; Issuing authority); §3 Contact Details (Applicant's full address; telephone number; email address); §4 Employment (Current occupation; Name and full address of the employing Organisation; an asterisked companion line for School/University if the applicant is a student); §5 Trip Information (Main purpose of visit; Number of Entries — printed checkboxes single Entry/Double Entries/Multiple Entries; Port of entry; Date of arrival; Date of departure; travel-companion name(s), printed as 3 blank ruled lines; a single combined box for either the full address/telephone of the inviting person/organisation in Jordan, or, if a tourist, the hotel/place-of-stay details — both alternatives share one printed blank area); and §6 Additional Information (Do you have any other nationality? with its own \"if yes\" full-name/passport-number companion lines; Former Nationalities, with its own \"if yes\" name/passport-number companion lines; Have you ever changed your name? with an \"if yes\" former-name companion line; Date of first entry into country of residence; Have you been convicted of a criminal offence, or currently on trial? with an \"if yes\" details line; Have you ever served in the Armed Forces of any country? with an \"if yes\" details line; Have you ever been expelled from any country? with an \"if yes\" details line; Countries visited in the last 10 years, printed as 2 blank ruled lines), closing with the form's own certification statement and a combined Name-and-Signature/Date declaration line. This v1.0.0 models 48 applicant-facing fields plus 1 documents[] entry (the certification's own attestation text). This candidate was chosen over a previously-scouted 23-field embassy visa AcroForm because that candidate was only found on third-party visa-expediting mirrors (traveldocument.com, traveldocs.com), not a first-party Jordanian government host (disclosed as an open backlog item in jo/cspd/passport-application's own VERIFICATION.md); this MFA specimen is fetched directly and unauthenticated from mfa.gov.jo, a first-party government domain. The Y/N gate questions in §6 (other nationality, name change, criminal conviction, armed forces service, expulsion) are each modeled as a required boolean field with its own optional \"if yes\" companion detail field(s), with no requiredWhen coupling between them — matching the same no-invented-gate judgment call this registry's other Jordan schemas made for their own conditional blocks (e.g. jo/cspd/passport-application's Husband/Wife Data and bridge-crossing-card blocks). GovSchema is an independent, non-profit standards body and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of Jordan or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates.",
