Belgium Visa

Once your documents are complete, we walk you through booking your appointment at the TLScontact centre for biometrics capture and file submission. You attend on the day; we accompany you in every step.

• Tourist Visa (Type C)

  For leisure travel and sightseeing in Belgium for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

• Family & Friends Visit Visa

  For visiting relatives or friends with a notarised invitation from the Belgian host.

• Business Visa

  For attending meetings and conferences with an official invitation from the Belgian business host.

• Cultural & Sports Visa

  For taking part in cultural, sporting, scientific, or religious events.

• Medical Visa (Short-stay visa)

  Issued for the purpose of receiving treatment at Belgian hospitals. Classified as a short-stay visa, with stays not exceeding 90 days. Requires detailed medical reports plus an official invitation or booking confirmation from the relevant hospital.

1. Choose the right Belgian visa type

   Start by identifying the visa category that matches your purpose of travel — tourism, family visit, business, medical, or study. Belgian visa applications from Jordan are handled by TLScontact Amman, the official Belgium visa application centre on behalf of the Belgian Embassy in Amman. Important: channel arrangements for short-stay (Schengen) visas have changed in early 2026 — verify the current intake route on the official Belgian Embassy page before applying.

2. Create an account and complete the application

   Register on the TLScontact Amman portal for Belgium and complete the Schengen visa application form online. Make sure your name, passport details, and travel dates exactly match your supporting documents — formal errors are a leading cause of refusal.

3. Prepare the supporting documents

   Refer to the official "Visa for Belgium" guide on the Belgian government site and prepare:
   - Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure date, issued within the last 10 years, with two blank pages.
   - Jordanian ID card, or valid Jordanian residency permit if you are a foreign resident.
   - Stamped bank statements covering the last 3 months.
   - Employment letter and a recent salary certificate.
   - Round-trip flight reservation and hotel bookings covering every night of your stay.
   - Schengen travel insurance with minimum coverage of EUR 30,000.
   - Recent passport-sized photo meeting Schengen specifications.

4. Book your biometrics appointment at TLScontact Amman

   Book your appointment with TLScontact Amman once it confirms acceptance for your visa type. Long-stay visa applications continue to be accepted by TLS. The TLS Call Centre in Jordan: +962 79 111 44 33. Submit at least 15 working days before your departure date.

5. Attend the appointment and pay the fees

   At your appointment your ten-fingerprint scan and facial photo are taken, your file is reviewed, and your passport is held. Pay the embassy fee (Schengen) and the TLS service fee (around EUR 19.80 in JOD) at the centre. Biometrics are mandatory for applicants aged 12 and above.

6. Track processing at the Belgian Embassy

   Your file is forwarded to the Belgian Embassy in Amman (Sa'd Jum'ah St. 17) for decision. A short-stay decision is typically issued within 15 working days, and may be extended up to 45 days in additional cases. For inquiries, email amman@diplobel.fed.be. Track your application via the TLScontact account you created at booking.

7. Collect your passport and visa

   Once a decision is issued your passport is returned to the TLScontact centre. Collect it in person with your ID, or use the optional courier service. Before you travel, verify the visa data (name, number of entries, validity dates, residence type) against your passport, and keep copies of your bookings and insurance ready in case of border checks.

• What is a Schengen visa?

  A unified visa that allows entry to 29 European countries within the Schengen area on a single visa, with a stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

• How long is a Schengen visa valid?

  Usually granted short-term (up to 3 months) with single or multiple entries. In some cases it can be issued for longer — up to 5 years.

• Can I travel between Schengen countries on a single visa?

  Yes, a Schengen visa allows entry to and free travel between all 27 Schengen countries with no extra visa required.

• What is the most common reason for refusal?

  Weak ties to Jordan, failing to convince the embassy you will return, weak financial standing, or incomplete documents. We help you strengthen your file before you submit.

• Does the application require a personal interview?

  Usually not — most applications are decided on the documents. In special cases the embassy may request an interview.
