France: visa decisions in Jordan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 4,311 | 3,759 | 491 | 11.4% | 54.4% |
| 2024 | 5,184 | 4,550 | 605 | 11.6% | 51.9% |
| 2025 | 7,372 | 6,379 | 897 | 12.0% | 53.0% |
In 2025, France’s embassy and consulates in Jordan (Amman) received 7,372 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 6,379. The refusal rate was 12.0%. That is barely different from 2024 (11.6%). Applications rose by 42% compared with 2024 (5,184).
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. France’s consulates worldwide refused 14.2%. France was the 4th 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. The figures cover applications lodged in Jordan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
