Bulgaria visa for Jordanian citizens

For the tourist visa, Bulgaria’s official sources give a standard fee of €90. Processing time, as Bulgaria states it: 15 calendar days as a rule; up to 45 days if more checks or documents are needed. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

In 2025, Bulgaria’s embassy and consulates in Jordan (Amman) received 1,952 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,066. 43.9% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 10.9%: the rate rose by 33.0 points, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 4% compared with 2024 (1,871).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 21.4% of the applications lodged in Jordan that year, from 5.4% at the consulates of Romania to 52.0% at those of Norway. Bulgaria’s consulates worldwide refused 12.5%. Bulgaria was the 12th most applied-for Schengen state in Jordan.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. Bulgaria only began issuing Schengen visas on 31 March 2024, so its 2024 figures cover part of the year. The figures cover applications lodged in Jordan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Jordanian citizens planning a trip to Bulgaria can compare how foreign ministries rate it: the US State Department rates Bulgaria at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 8 October 2025), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Bulgaria (updated 11 August 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Bulgaria (updated 13 October 2026).

How long Jordanian citizens can stay in Bulgaria

How long Jordanian citizens may stay in Bulgaria is set by the visa issued, and the visa type must match the purpose of the trip.

How Jordanian citizens apply

Bulgaria has no embassy or career consulate in Jordan. Jordanian citizens apply through a mission of Bulgaria accredited to Jordan from abroad, or through another Schengen state that represents Bulgaria for visas; the official visa portal of Bulgaria names the right place.
