Do I need a visa for France from Jordan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Jordanian citizens need a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) to visit France for tourism. No visa is issued on arrival: the application is made before departure.
France is part of the Schengen area, so a traveller from Jordan must obtain a uniform visa before leaving. The visa allows up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the whole zone. You prepare the application on France-Visas and then lodge it with the partner centre in Amman, and France must be your main destination.
Do you need a visa?
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.
How and where to apply
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.
Documents and fees
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.
Processing and tips
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.
Common mistakes to avoid
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.
