Jordan adopted a revised framework for granting citizenship and long term residency to investors that took effect in mid 2025 and is set to be reviewed periodically. Confirm the current rules with the official authority.

Overview

Jordan offers citizenship to investors who meet set investment thresholds and create jobs for Jordanians, or who hold qualifying financial instruments for a set period. A revised framework took effect in mid 2025 and is set for periodic review.

This page sets out the routes and the official source. Confirm every figure and condition with the responsible authority before you act.

Qualifying routes

Reported routes include a productive investment with a job creation requirement, with a higher threshold and more jobs required inside the capital than outside it, a holding of treasury bonds for a set number of years, or a purchase of shares in Jordanian companies held for a minimum period.

Conditions and minimums differ by route. Confirm the current amounts, job creation rules and holding periods with the official authority.

Timeline

Applications pass security clearance and a check of the applicant's financial standing, and the programme is reported to be capped at a set number of cases each year. Confirm the current processing time and the annual cap with the official authority.

Indicative costs

Costs centre on the qualifying investment itself, which is substantial, plus any government and processing charges. The figures below are indicative. Confirm the current amounts with the official authority.

What it unlocks

Citizenship allows the holder to apply for a Jordanian passport, subject to the law. The framework also provides for long term residency options for investors who do not seek citizenship.

Confirm what each route grants and requires, and any conditions on the investment, with the official authority.
