Do I need a visa for United Kingdom from Jordan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Jordanian nationals need a Standard Visitor visa for a tourist stay in the United Kingdom, valid for up to six months. You apply online on GOV.UK, followed by a biometrics appointment.
Jordan is not on the UK's visa-exempt list, so a Jordanian traveller must apply before heading to London, Manchester or Scotland. The UK is not part of the Schengen area and applies its own rules. Check GOV.UK for current fees and processing times; this guide stays general on those points.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Jordanian national must obtain a Standard Visitor visa before travelling for tourism, family visits or short business. It generally allows a stay of up to six months. Because the UK is outside Schengen, this visa is separate from any European visa.
Where and how to apply
The application is completed entirely online on GOV.UK: the form, payment and appointment booking. You then attend a Visa Application Centre (VAC), run by TLScontact in Jordan, to give your fingerprints and photo. Some applications may require you to hand in your passport.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, proof of sufficient funds, evidence of accommodation, an itinerary or ticket, and documents showing your ties to Jordan (employment, studies, family). The Standard Visitor fee is not stated here: check GOV.UK for the official amount in force.
Processing and tips
Processing times vary; refer to GOV.UK for the current estimate and any priority service. Apply well before travel and do not book non-refundable tickets until the visa is granted. Paid priority services may speed up processing.
Common mistakes
Refusals often happen when funds are not clearly evidenced or ties to Jordan look weak. Avoid inconsistencies between the form, bank statements and itinerary. Never submit documents that are not genuine: this leads to refusal and a ban.
