Discover visa requirements for your trip
Jordanian nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Italy. It must be obtained before departure from the Italian mission or its authorised visa partner.
Italy is part of the Schengen area, so a Jordanian citizen travelling there for tourism must apply for a visa before the trip. The visa allows a stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period and is valid across the whole Schengen area, provided Italy is your main destination.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Jordan is not on the visa-exempt list, so a Jordanian citizen must obtain a Schengen Type C visa for a tourist stay in Italy. This is a short-stay visa valid for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
How and where to apply
Applications are lodged with the Italian embassy or consulate responsible for Jordan, in Amman, or with its external service provider (VFS Global or TLScontact, depending on the arrangement in place). Book an appointment, attend in person for biometrics, and submit a complete file. Italy must be your main destination or first point of entry into the Schengen area.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, compliant photos, travel insurance covering at least €30,000 in medical costs, an accommodation booking, an itinerary, proof of sufficient funds and a return ticket. The visa fee is around €90 for an adult. Check the exact amount and payment methods on the official site.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, so apply several weeks ahead of travel, without exceeding the six-month early-application window. In Amman, book your appointment early, as slots fill quickly in the peak tourist season.
Common mistakes
Do not lodge your application at another Schengen country's consulate if Italy is your main destination. Do not underestimate insurance cover, which must reach at least €30,000. Finally, an incomplete file or funds judged insufficient are the most common reasons for refusal.
