Sweden: visa decisions in Jordan

In 2025, Sweden’s embassy and consulates in Jordan (Amman) received 1,163 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 663. The refusal rate was 39.3%. That is barely different from 2024 (37.9%). Applications fell by 33% compared with 2024 (1,734).

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. Sweden’s consulates worldwide refused 23.1%. Sweden was the 14th 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.
