Chinese nationals can apply for Jordanian citizenship by investment. There is no nationality bar. This page sets out the current position so you can plan.
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.
Jordan runs a citizenship by investment programme administered through the Ministry of Investment. The programme is not limited by nationality, so Chinese applicants may apply if they make and hold a qualifying investment and pass due diligence.
Chinese law generally does not recognise dual nationality, so applicants should take advice on how acquiring Jordanian citizenship affects their Chinese nationality. Confirm the current rules with the official authority and a licensed professional.
Several investment options are commonly described. A purchase of returnable treasury bonds of USD 1 million held for six years. A bank deposit of at least USD 1 million at the Central Bank of Jordan held for at least three years. A purchase of company shares valued at USD 1.5 million held for at least three years.
There is also a project route. An investment project with capital of at least USD 1 million, or USD 750,000 if registered outside the capital Amman, that creates at least 20 jobs, or 10 jobs outside Amman. Confirm the current list and conditions with the Ministry of Investment.
Applicants submit to the Ministry of Investment and the relevant committee, which runs due diligence before any approval. Citizenship follows once the chosen investment is in place and conditions are met. Confirm the present timeline with the official authority.
Family coverage has been described as extending to the main investor, spouse and qualifying dependents under the rules in force at the time of approval.
