Jordan Citizenship by Investment

Several investment options are available for citizenship applicants under the Jordanian program:

Existing Business Investment:

Investors with current qualifying business operations in Jordan and who meet employment thresholds can qualify retroactively, without new capital injection.

Stock Market Investment:

1 million Jordanian dinars in Jordanian equities, locked for 3 years (max 20% per company, no profits/principal access during this period).

Sector-Specific Investments:

Sectors include pharmaceuticals, logistics, and others, with investment thresholds up to 3 million dinars.

Employment Route:

Citizenship can be granted to those employing at least 150 Jordanians in Amman or 100 outside Amman – no specific capital investment required.

Residency by Real Estate:

Five-year residency for purchase of new (not resale) property worth 200,000 dinars (does not confer citizenship).

All investors must meet mandatory job creation (except those obtaining real estate residency). Additionally, all applications for citizenship must undergo multi-agency approval, security clearance, financial verification, and monitoring; citizenship can be revoked for non-compliance.

Under all the options, the whole family including the main applicant’s spouse, children (unmarried, widowed, or divorced daughters and sons under 18), and dependent parents, may be included in a single application. For investments exceeding 2 million dinars, male children can be included up to age 30.

Only 500 investors may obtain citizenship through the program per year.
