Germany: visa decisions in Jordan
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 11,896 | 9,759 | 2,023 | 17.1% | 80.5% |
| 2024 | 11,892 | 7,408 | 4,314 | 36.3% | 77.9% |

In 2025, Germany’s embassy and consulates in Jordan (Amman) received 10,265 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 6,184. 38.6% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 36.3%: the rate rose by 2.2 points. Applications fell by 14% compared with 2024 (11,892).
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. Germany’s consulates worldwide refused 13.1%. Germany was the 2nd 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.
