Discover visa requirements for your trip
Jordanian nationals must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to travel to Belgium. As Belgium is a Schengen member, the visa also allows movement within the other countries of the area.
Jordan is not on the list of countries exempt from the Schengen visa, so a Jordanian traveller must apply before departing for Belgium. The tourist visa permits a stay of up to 90 days per 180-day period. There is no visa-on-arrival option for this route.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Jordanian citizen is subject to the Schengen Type C visa for a tourist stay in Belgium. If Belgium is the main destination or the first point of entry into the Schengen Area, the Belgian authorities assess the application. The visa does not cover a long-term stay, which requires a different type of authorisation.
How and where to apply
Applicants in Jordan book an appointment at Belgium's visa partner centre (generally VFS Global) in Amman, and the file is then examined by the Immigration Office (dofi.ibz.be). The Schengen form is completed beforehand and in-person attendance is required for biometrics (fingerprints and photo). Check the address and booking arrangements on the Belgian mission's website in Jordan.
Documents and fees
Gather a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned exit and less than ten years old, the signed form, a compliant photo, a return flight booking, proof of accommodation (hotel or sponsorship letter), bank statements showing sufficient funds, and travel medical insurance of at least EUR 30,000. The fee is normally EUR 90 for an adult, excluding service-centre charges. Confirm the current rate on dofi.ibz.be.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days. Submit the application up to six months before departure, but no less than 15 days before, especially during busy periods. A cover letter explaining the purpose of the trip, a detailed itinerary and proof of ties to Jordan (employment, family) improve the chances of approval.
Common mistakes
The main reasons for refusal are missing or inadequate travel insurance, poorly documented finances, a passport close to expiry, and lodging the application with the wrong member state when Belgium was not the main destination. Do not book non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted.
