Tourist

Visa is valid to visit all the Schengen States

Only Jordan nationals and nationals of third countries that are legal residents in Jordan can apply for a visa at the Austria Visa Application Centre in Amman.

Visa applicants are requested to appear in person at the time of submission.

Incomplete, unclear or unsigned applications will not be accepted.

Visa fees are non-refundable and have to be paid only in cash at the time of application

If the visit involves two or more Schengen countries, the Embassy responsible for the issuance of the visa will be:

• The Embassy of the country in which the traveller is going to stay the longest.
• If the traveler is to stay the same time in different Schengen countries, the Embassy of the country of first entry.

Please Note: There is a service charge of Euro 22 (equivalent in JOD) per application over and above the visa fees payable by all applicants

The Visa fees and service charge can be paid by cash only. It is subject to change without notice. All fees are non-refundable

Short stay visas (Schengen)

The short stay visa application must be submitted on a duly completed application form (original and copy), which can be downloaded free of charge from this web page or can also be obtained free of charge from Austria Diplomatic Missions or Consular Offices abroad.

When submitting the visa application, the established fee must be paid (generally). This fee is non-refundable and therefore will not be refunded if the visa application is unsuccessful. Under certain circumstances applicants may be entitled to a reduction or may be exempt from paying the fee. Please consult the Diplomatic Missions or Austria Consular Offices. For all other necessary requirements, please consult the Diplomatic Mission or Consular Office where the visa application is being made as these may vary according to the reason for the visit and the applicant's country of origin.

The maximum period for processing short stay (Schengen) visa applications is five to fifteen calendar days from the date the application is submitted. This period can be extended to a maximum of 30 calendar days in specific cases, especially if a more detailed examination of the application is required. By way of exception, in specific cases in which additional documentation is required, this period can be extended to a maximum of 60 calendar days.

If the visa is issued, it must be collected in person or collected by a duly authorized representative, within a period of one month from the date that notification is given of the award.

Applicants are requested to submit their application form with the new photo format, as explained below:

General

The photo must fulfil the norm specified by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization).

• Use plain light-coloured background.
• The photo must be no more than 6-months old.
• Not tilted picture (portrait style) showing both edges of face clearly.
• Close up of the head and top of the shoulders so that the face takes up 70–80% of the photograph.
• Photo in sharp focus and clear.

Photo Size

The photo for each visa applicant must measure:

• The picture dimensions must be 240 pixels wide by 320 pixels high at least. A smaller picture will be rejected. For instance, a photo being 235 pixels by 320 pixels is not valid.
• On the other hand, the photo should keep a proportion of 3 x 4 (width x height) within limits. However, 250 x 340 pixels picture would be valid, but not a 290 x 340 pixels one.
• Finally, the image weight (size in Kbytes) can never be bigger than 120 Kbytes.

Resolution

• An image resolution is measured in DPI (dots per inch) and it's mainly used to control printing quality. Therefore, higher resolution means better printing quality.
• Photos resolution should be 300 dpi, so, when you scan the image, check this parameter carefully. However, bear in mind that the higher the resolution, the bigger the picture.
• The only image format accepted is JPEG (Join Photograph Expert Grup Format). The other image formats such as BMP, TIFF, GIF, PNG, etc. will be rejected (a warning will be shown).

Attaching the Photo to the Application form

• Glue one photograph to the application form in the designated space.

Note : If children are traveling with their parents and are included inside the passport of the mother and/or the father, one photograph for each children MUST be glued to the application form of the father or the mother, depending on whom are they traveling with.

Please follow these instructions carefully. If the photograph presented do not meet these requirements your application will be considered incomplete

Visa Applications are usually processed within 15 days (excluding day of submission at the Visa Application Centre), if all required documentation are in order. We advice you to submit your application well in advance.
