Do I need a visa for Germany from Jordan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Jordanian nationals must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Germany. The application is filed before departure with the German Embassy in Amman or its authorised visa partner.
Germany is part of the Schengen Area, and holders of a Jordanian passport are not visa-exempt. A Type C visa allows a tourist stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Germany must be your main destination for its mission to process the file.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Jordanian citizens do not have visa-free access to the Schengen Area. For a tourist trip to Germany a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa is required before departure. It lets you travel throughout the Schengen zone, but must be requested from the country of your main stay — here Germany.
How and where to apply
Jordanian applicants lodge their file with the German Embassy in Amman or its authorised external application centre (commonly VFS Global). You book an appointment online, complete the Schengen application form and attend in person so biometric data (fingerprints and photo) can be captured.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure, two recent ID photos, a hotel reservation or invitation, a round-trip ticket, bank statements proving sufficient funds, and travel medical insurance of at least €30,000. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult; a service charge may be added. Check the exact amount on the official source.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, so apply at least three weeks before the trip and no earlier than six months ahead. A consistent file — flight dates matching your accommodation and insurance, plus evidence of ties to Jordan (employment, family, property) — strengthens your case and shows your intention to return.
Common mistakes
The most frequent refusal grounds are insufficient insurance (below €30,000), applying to the wrong country when Germany is not the main destination, or weak financial evidence. Do not buy non-refundable tickets before the visa is issued, and confirm the entry requirements in force with the German mission.
