New route from July 2026 — 20 jobs for Jordanians are mandatory

Citizenship via Amra City
Jordan

From JOD1.5M (≈$2.12M) in the Amra City project AND creating at least 20 jobs for Jordanian nationals, confirmed via Social Security records — both conditions are mandatory at once. A separate route from the existing project-based and share-based tracks.

Three separate Jordan routes — don’t confuse them

Amra City is not the only investment path to Jordanian citizenship. All three routes run simultaneously, with different thresholds and conditions.

What the process consists of

The jobs requirement is not a formality — it is confirmed by official Jordan Social Security Corporation records, not by an investor’s declaration.

How the process runs

01
Registering the project and investing from JOD1.5M
Funds must be genuinely invested in permitted economic activity.
02
Launching operations
The 4-month grace period for meeting the employment requirement begins.
03
Creating at least 20 jobs for Jordanian nationals
Confirmed by official Social Security Corporation records, not a declaration.
04
Receiving temporary residency
Valid until the project becomes operational and the jobs condition is met.
05
A temporary Jordanian passport for 3 years
Issued once the conditions are confirmed met.
06
Citizenship after 3 years of compliance
Final stage — permanent citizenship.

A good fit if

You have capital from JOD1.5M (≈$2.12M) for genuine investment in the project.
You are prepared to create and confirm at least 20 jobs for Jordanian nationals via Social Security.
Active operations are planned, not passive share ownership.
You are prepared for a 3-year path through temporary residency and a temporary passport to permanent citizenship.

A poor fit if

You want a passive option — listed shares (also from JOD1.5M) require no job creation, unlike Amra City.
You cannot meet the 20-jobs requirement within the 4-month grace period after operations start.
You confused this route with the cheaper project track outside Amman (from JOD500K) — Amra City’s entry threshold is three times higher.
The official text on invest.jo/Ministry of Investment was not directly fetched as of the checked date — the source is secondary (a law firm); verify before applying.

Frequent questions

How does Amra City differ from the listed-shares route?

Both thresholds are JOD1.5M as of July 2026, but Amra City requires creating at least 20 jobs for Jordanian nationals, confirmed via Social Security — the shares route has no such requirement; it is a passive investment through a broker.

What happens if 20 jobs aren’t created within 4 months?

The grace period is specifically for meeting this condition from the start of operations — per the available data, the exact consequence of missing the deadline is not disclosed on this page; check with the Ministry of Investment or the appointed firm.

How are jobs confirmed — is an employment contract enough?

Confirmation requires official Jordan Social Security Corporation records, not merely a signed employment contract.

Why is there no direct invest.jo link?

As of the checked date, a direct official text on invest.jo/Ministry of Investment was not found in open search — the route is confirmed via a secondary source (law firm Abdullah & Partners), stated explicitly in the sources section.

Does this route grant citizenship immediately?

No — the process has three stages: temporary residency until the project is operational and the jobs condition is met, then a 3-year temporary passport, and only after maintaining conditions for all 3 years — permanent citizenship.

Can a project outside Amra City qualify at the same threshold?

No — Amra City is a specific zone/project tied to this route. Other projects go through separate tracks — outside Amman (from JOD500K) or in Amman (from JOD700K), already featured on the site as a separate programme.
