Do I need a visa for Greece from Jordan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Jordanian nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Greece. It must be obtained before departure, with Greece as your main destination.
A traveller from Jordan wishing to visit Greece for tourism, family or business, for up to 90 days in a 180-day period, must apply for a Schengen visa. The application is filed from Jordan, in Amman, with the Greek consulate or its authorised visa centre. Plan ahead for the appointment and the processing time.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Jordanian passport does not allow visa-free entry to the Schengen area; a Type C short-stay visa is required for Greece. It permits stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, visiting or business. If your trip covers several Schengen countries, apply to the one where you spend the most time; if that is Greece, apply through its services.
How and where to apply
In Jordan, the application is filed in Amman with the Greek embassy or its authorised external visa centre (often VFS Global). The Jordanian applicant completes the Schengen form online, books an appointment, then attends in person to hand in the file and give fingerprints. Check the address and procedures of the centre serving Amman on mfa.gr before travelling to it.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport (issued within the last 10 years, valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended Schengen departure), the Schengen form, two recent photos, travel medical insurance of at least €30,000, proof of accommodation (hotel or a host declaration), a return ticket and bank statements proving sufficient means. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult (reduced rates for children), excluding the centre's service charge.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, so apply well ahead — and no earlier than six months before travel. In Amman, appointment slots can be scarce in the summer peak: book early. Present a consistent itinerary (flights, hotels) and buy the insurance before submitting, as its absence is a frequent reason for refusal.
Common mistakes
Common pitfalls for Jordanian travellers: applying to Greece when it is not the main destination, presenting insufficient insurance (< €30,000), overlooking the 90/180-day rule, or submitting a passport with too little validity. Check the exact document list and any requirements with the official source before you travel.
