Switzerland visa for Jordanian citizens

Switzerland’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities; the official site for it is sem.admin.ch. Processing time, as Switzerland states it: Normally decided within 15 days, longer in individual cases. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Switzerland has 1 mission in Jordan, with its embassy in Amman.

In 2025, Switzerland’s embassy and consulates in Jordan (Amman) received 2,782 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 2,436. 7.8% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 6.4%. Applications fell by 11% compared with 2024 (3,110).

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. Switzerland’s consulates worldwide refused 12.5%. Switzerland was the 10th 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.

Before travelling from Jordan to Switzerland, it helps to know the official travel advice: the US State Department rates Switzerland at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 13 August 2026), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Switzerland (updated 11 August 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Switzerland (updated 13 October 2026). The advice is aimed at each government’s own nationals.
