Do I need a visa for Sweden from Jordan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Jordanian citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for a tourist trip to Sweden. The application must be lodged before departure from Jordan.
Jordan is not on the Schengen visa-exemption list, so its nationals must obtain a visa before travelling to Sweden. Sweden must be your main destination — the one where you spend the most nights — for the application to be lodged with it. The usual fee is €90 for an adult and processing normally takes 15 to 45 days.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. As a Jordanian national you must obtain a Schengen Type C visa before travelling to Sweden. It allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen area, and the application is made through Sweden when it is your main destination or first point of entry.
How and where to apply
In Jordan, Swedish visa applications are handled through the outsourcing partner (VFS Global) in Amman under the authority of the competent Swedish embassy. Book an appointment online, complete the Schengen form and attend in person to give your biometrics. The Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket) sets out the applicable rules.
Documents and fees
Gather a passport valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure, two recent photos, travel medical insurance of at least €30,000, proof of accommodation, an itinerary with return flights and evidence of funds. The visa fee is €90 for an adult, with a possible service charge from the centre on top.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days. Apply no earlier than six months before travel and at least 15 days before departure. An invitation letter or a confirmed hotel booking plus clear bank statements strengthen your file.
Common mistakes
The main grounds for refusal are non-compliant insurance, insufficient funds and applying through the wrong Schengen country. Do not apply for a Swedish visa if most of your trip takes place elsewhere, and wait for the visa to be issued before buying non-refundable tickets.
