Egyptian nationals can pursue Jordanian citizenship through the citizenship by investment programme, which was revamped in 2025 with new criteria and an annual cap on approvals.
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 grants citizenship by investment to qualifying foreign investors and research does not show a nationality bar for Egyptian citizens. Approval rests on the qualifying investment, the lawful source of funds and the supporting documents.
The programme is administered by the Ministry of Investment in coordination with the Ministry of Interior, and it is reported to be capped at a fixed number of approvals each year, with priority to earlier applicants. Confirm the current criteria and family rules with the official authority before acting.
After the 2025 revamp, reported active routes include the purchase of shares in Jordanian companies, paid up capital into a project inside or outside the Amman governorate, and a job creation route that hires a set number of Jordanian nationals. Passive options such as a bank deposit and treasury bonds were reported to be removed.
Qualifying amounts differ by route and by location, so confirm each current figure with the authority before acting.
Once an investment route is approved, the applicant is reported to have a set window to complete the investment, after which citizenship is processed. The Ministry of Investment publishes the current criteria and handling times. Confirm the present timeline with the official authority.
Beyond the qualifying investment, applicants meet government and processing costs and local professional fees. Confirm the current fees with the official authority.
