Jordan Citizenship by Investment was restructured in 2025 around active, job creating investment rather than passive deposits. This page outlines the cost picture and points you to the official source.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
The largest cost is the qualifying investment itself, and the amount depends on the route you choose under the 2025 framework. The share purchase route requires a new purchase of shares in Jordanian companies valued at JOD 1,000,000, completed through a licensed broker, with no more than a fifth concentrated in a single company and the funds held for at least three years.
The project establishment route requires paid up capital of JOD 700,000 for a project inside Amman Governorate or JOD 500,000 for a project outside Amman, together with the creation of at least 20 jobs for Jordanians inside Amman or 10 outside it. The project expansion route requires investment in an existing productive project with paid up capital of at least JOD 1,000,000, the addition of at least JOD 500,000 in new fixed assets, and at least 20 new registered Jordanian jobs.
Most routes hold capital in productive assets rather than spending it, but the rules on what counts, how long it is held and how jobs are verified are strict. Confirm the current routes and thresholds with the official authority before you act.
Applications are made to the Ministry of Investment, reviewed by a dedicated investor committee, then forwarded to the Ministry of Interior for security clearance and verification of financial standing. The Ministry of Investment is the main reference authority for investment in Jordan under the Investment Environment Law.
Government charges, due diligence costs and any processing fees are set by the authorities and change periodically. We do not publish a figure we cannot confirm, so verify the current government and processing costs directly with the Ministry of Investment.
Most applicants use independent professional help for document preparation, translations, corporate structuring and tax planning. These fees vary widely with the complexity of the case and the route chosen, and they are separate from the investment and government costs.
We do not name or recommend firms. To compare qualified, vetted advisors for your situation, use Get Matched. Ask any advisor for a clear written scope and fee before you engage them.
A realistic budget combines the qualifying investment, government and due diligence charges, professional fees, translations and any banking or brokerage costs. The investment dominates the total, but the smaller fixed costs and the cost of meeting job creation rules still matter for planning.
Use the table as a checklist of cost lines rather than a quote. Because the programme changed in 2025, confirm every figure with the official authority before acting.
