Greece Visa

Once your documents are complete, we walk you through booking your appointment at VFS Global 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 Greece 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 Greek host.

• Business Visa

  For attending meetings and conferences with an official invitation from the Greek 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 Greek 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 Greek visa type

   Start by identifying the visa category that matches your purpose of travel — tourism, family visit, business, medical, or study. Schengen short-stay applications from Jordan are submitted through VFS Global Greece in Amman on behalf of the Greek Embassy in Amman. National "D" long-stay visas are submitted directly to the embassy by appointment.

2. Create an account and complete the application

   Register on the VFS Greece Jordan portal 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 Schengen visa documents page from the Greek Embassy in Amman 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.
   Only Jordanian nationals and foreign nationals with legal residence in Jordan may apply through this channel.

4. Book your biometrics appointment at VFS Amman

   Book your appointment with VFS Global Greece at Galleria Mall, Building 56, 4th floor, Sweifieh, Amman. Submit at least 15 working days before your departure date, and no more than 6 months in advance. The phone numbers for the centre are +962 6 400 1004 or +962 79 79 22221.

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 VFS service fee at the centre, in cash or by card. Biometrics are mandatory for applicants aged 12 and above. The whole appointment takes about 15–20 minutes.

6. Track processing at the Greek Embassy in Amman

   Your file is forwarded to the Consular Office of the Greek Embassy in Amman for decision. A Schengen short-stay decision is typically issued within 15 calendar days, and may be extended up to 30 days, or 60 days in exceptional cases. Track your application via the VFS account you created at booking.

7. Collect your passport and visa

   Once a decision is issued your passport is returned to the VFS centre. Collect it in person with your ID, or request the optional courier delivery 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 lets you enter 29 European countries in the Schengen Area on a single visa, with up to 90 days of stay in any rolling 180-day period.

• How long is a Schengen visa valid?

  Typically issued for a short duration (up to 3 months) as a single or multiple entry. In some cases it can be issued for longer — up to 5 years.

• Can I travel between Schengen countries on one visa?

  Yes — the visa lets you enter and move freely between all 27 Schengen countries with no extra visa needed.

• What is the most common reason for refusal?

  Weak ties to Jordan, the embassy not being convinced 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 alone. In special cases the embassy may request an interview.
