Notes

Bulgaria became a full Schengen member on 1 January 2025, when land border checks were lifted; air and sea borders had already opened in March 2024. A Bulgarian visa now admits you to all 29 Schengen countries rather than Bulgaria alone. File with Bulgaria when it is your main destination — the country where you will spend the most nights — or your first point of entry if the trip is evenly split. Entry is recorded digitally under the EU Entry/Exit System instead of a passport stamp.

FAQ

Bulgaria visa — common questions

Clear answers to the questions we get most often about the Bulgaria visa process from Jordan.

Is a Bulgarian visa valid in the rest of the Schengen area?
Yes. Bulgaria became a full Schengen member on 1 January 2025, when land border checks were lifted — air and sea borders had opened in March 2024. A Bulgarian short-stay visa is now valid across all 29 Schengen countries.
Do I need travel insurance for a Bulgaria Schengen visa?
Yes. Schengen rules require medical travel insurance with at least €30,000 of cover, valid in every member state for the full length of your stay. We issue compliant policies at the office.
How early can I apply for a Bulgaria Schengen visa?
You can apply up to 6 months before travel and no later than 15 days before departure. We recommend starting 6–8 weeks ahead, since appointment slots in Amman fill quickly before summer and holiday periods.
How long can I stay in the Schengen area on a Bulgarian visa?
A short-stay visa allows up to 90 days in any 180-day period, counted across all Schengen countries together rather than per country. Overstaying affects future applications.
Do my Jordanian documents need translation?
Supporting documents issued in Arabic generally need certified translation into English. Our office handles certified translation as part of preparing the file, so nothing is rejected on a formality.
