Eligibility for British nationals

Jordan does not restrict this programme by nationality, so British citizens can apply on the same terms as other foreign investors. Eligibility depends on the size and nature of your investment and on passing due diligence.

The programme is reported to operate under an annual cap, so places can be limited in a given year. Confirm current availability, the document set and any dependants policy with the official authority.

Routes

Reported routes under the 2025 criteria include establishing and registering an investment project with qualifying paid up capital and job creation for Jordanians, purchasing shares in Jordanian companies at a set value, investing in specific priority sectors such as pharmaceuticals and logistics, or employing a set number of Jordanians.

Each route carries its own capital and employment conditions. Some routes require maintaining the investment or the jobs for a set period. Check which route fits before you commit.

Timeline

Jordan does not publish a single guaranteed processing time that applies to every applicant. Timelines depend on the route, due diligence and the annual cap. Treat any quoted turnaround as indicative and confirm the current position with the authority.

Costs

Costs depend heavily on the route. As reported under the 2025 criteria, qualifying paid up capital for a project route starts in the hundreds of thousands of Jordanian dinars and rises into the millions for some sector and share routes. Confirm the exact figures, deposits and fees with the official authority before acting.

What it unlocks

A successful application grants Jordanian citizenship and a passport, subject to the programme rules. Confirm whether any holding period applies to the underlying investment and whether dependants are included.
