Visa for Belgium from Jordan: price, documents and processing time 2026

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.

The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.

• Government fee90 EUR

  Schengen scale: €90 for an adult, €45 for a child aged 6 to 11, free below 6. Some facilitation agreements set a lower rate, the consulate confirms which applies to you.

• Application centre feeCapped at €45

  The Visa Code caps an external provider’s service fee at half the visa fee. It is charged on top, and it is not refunded either.

• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

  Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.

• ExtrasVariable

  Courier return, SMS tracking, compliant photo, insurance, sworn translation or legalisation, depending on what the post requires.

We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.

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.

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.

• Your application goes to the state that is your main destination. If Belgium is where you spend the longest, it handles the file, whatever the entry point.
• With no main destination, the competent state is the one you enter first.
• If Belgium has no consulate in Jordan, another Schengen state may act on its behalf under a representation arrangement, or the file goes to the post accredited for your country.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Jordan, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Jordan but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

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.

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.
