Do I need a visa for Austria from Jordan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Jordanian citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Austria for tourism. The standard adult fee is €90.
Austria is part of the Schengen area, and Jordan is not visa-exempt, so Jordanian travellers must obtain a Schengen visa before departure. The application is lodged at the Austrian Embassy in Amman or its external service provider. Travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000 is required.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Jordanian nationals do not have visa-free entry to the Schengen area. For a tourist stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period, the required visa is the Schengen short-stay (Type C). Austria must be your main destination for it to be the state responsible for processing the application.
How and where to apply
From Jordan, the application is lodged at the Austrian Embassy in Amman or its external partner (VFS Global or TLScontact, depending on the current arrangement). Book an appointment, complete the Schengen application form, and attend in person for fingerprint and photo capture. Confirm the exact channel with the BMEIA before travelling to the centre.
Documents and fees
The standard fee is €90 for an adult (reduced for children aged 6–12, free below that). Prepare a valid Jordanian passport, a recent photo, proof of accommodation (hotel or invitation), flight reservations, evidence of funds, and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000 across the whole Schengen area.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, so apply well ahead but no earlier than six months before departure. Keep your flight dates, bookings and itinerary consistent with one another. Retain originals and copies of every document for any interview.
Common mistakes
Refusals often stem from insurance below €30,000, weak proof of financial means, or applying to the wrong country when Austria is not the trip's main destination. Do not buy non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted, and strictly observe the 90-in-180-days limit.
