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

Yes. A national of Jordan cannot enter France without a Schengen visa obtained beforehand. For a tourist stay the relevant document is the Type C short-stay visa, valid across the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day window. France must be your main destination or first point of entry for the application to be admissible.

Prepare a passport valid at least three months beyond your planned departure, with two blank pages, the printed France-Visas form, a recent photo, your accommodation and return-flight bookings, proof of funds, and travel medical insurance of at least €30,000. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult, excluding TLScontact's service charge. Confirm the exact amount when you submit.

From Jordan, first complete the online form on France-Visas, then book an appointment at the TLScontact centre in Amman to submit your file and biometrics. Attend in person with a complete file. France-Visas gives you the precise list of documents for your situation.

• Your application goes to the state that is your main destination. If France 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 France 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; lodge up to six months ahead and no later than three weeks before departure. In Amman, appointment slots can fill quickly in peak season, so plan ahead. Keep refundable bookings until the visa is issued and retain copies of all your documents.

Do not apply to France if another Schengen country is your main destination, this leads to refusal. Also avoid insurance below the €30,000 threshold, an under-valid passport, and weak proof of funds. Do not buy non-refundable tickets before the visa is in hand.
