Requirements to qualify for citizenship

After initial due diligence checks have been conducted, the applicant may choose their preferred investment route. A bank deposit and treasury bonds, company shares and/or units, or an enterprise that leads to employment creation.

Once the application for Jordanian citizenship has been submitted to the relevant government committee and further due diligence checks have been successfully completed, the application may be approved if eligibility is proven.

Following the applicant’s fulfilment of the chosen investment, they (and their included family members) receive a Jordanian passport. If the investor opts for the bank deposit, they need to be physically present in Jordan for one month before obtaining citizenship.
