The residency covers the investor's immediate family and requires **no minimum physical presence** in Jordan.\n\nThis route is distinct from Jordan's [citizenship-by-investment programme](https://www.imidaily.com/the-jordan-citizenship-by-investment-program/) and does not lead to Jordanian nationality. It is aimed at investors who want a formal, low-friction residence base in the region rather than a second passport.","how_to_qualify":"Applicants can qualify for the Jordan Investor Residency through one of the following routes:\n\n**Real-estate route:**\n- Purchase one or more properties from a **licensed developer**, valued at a minimum of **JOD 200,000 (approx. US$282,000)** as appraised by the **Department of Lands and Survey**\n- Alternative thresholds apply outside Greater Amman (**JOD 150,000**) and for private-seller purchases (**JOD 300,000**)\n- The property must be for residential purposes with an independent title deed\n- Retain full ownership for a minimum of **five consecutive years** — the property may not be sold, transferred, mortgaged, or acquired from first- or second-degree relatives\n- Ownership must be subsequent to the 2025 Cabinet decision, and the application must be submitted within **three months** of purchase\n\n**Business route:**\n- Carry out an economic activity in a sector qualifying under the **Investment Environment Regulation Law**, or\n- Hold a senior management position (chairman, board member, general manager, director general, or CEO) in a Jordanian investment\n\nThe residency covers the investor and their immediate family: **spouse, sons under 30, unmarried daughters (regardless of age), and parents**. Annual residency approvals are processed within **14 working days** through the **Ministry of Investment's E-Services Portal**; commercial-sector applications go through the Ministry of Interior.","benefits":"- No physical presence requirement\n- Five-year renewable permit\n- Fast 14-day processing\n- Includes wide family unit (parents, adult unmarried daughters, sons under 30)\n- Jordan permits dual citizenship generally (residency itself does not confer nationality — see below)\n- Stable US-dollar-pegged currency (JOD)\n- Strategic base in the Middle East","citizenship_timeline":"The Jordan Investor Residency does **not** provide a pathway to Jordanian citizenship. Investors seeking naturalization through investment should refer to Jordan's separate [Citizenship-by-Investment programme](https://www.imidaily.com/the-jordan-citizenship-by-investment-program/), which offers direct citizenship under a distinct set of investment routes and thresholds.\n\nOrdinary naturalization in Jordan requires **four years** of continuous legal residence, Arabic-language proficiency, and various discretionary approvals; this residency counts toward that residence period but does not itself entitle the holder to apply.\n\nBrowse 195 countries' paths to citizenship in the hyper-detailed [IMI Citizenship Catalog](https://www.imidaily.com/citizenship-catalog/).","legal_basis":"Applications for this program may be directed to the **[Jordan Ministry of Investment](https://invest.jo/en/ready-doing-business/jordanian-residency-through-investment)** through its E-Services Portal. Commercial-sector applications are submitted through the **Ministry of Interior**.\n\nLegislation upon which this program is based: the **Investment Environment Regulation Law** and the Cabinet decisions of 2025 establishing the real-estate residency route."}},"as_of":"2026-11-13T18:23:12.401Z"},"meta":{"publisher":"IMI Daily","attribution":"Source: IMI Daily (https://www.imidaily.com).
