Citizenship by investment in Jordan

Three routes — revised by the Cabinet in 2025

Jordan’s government approved a revised system on 2 July 2025 — three official routes with different logic and different entry prices.

ROUTE

THRESHOLD

WHAT TO KNOW

Job-creating project outside Amman

THRESHOLDfrom JOD500,000 (≈$705,000)

The cheapest entry — a regional discount for projects outside the capital.

Job-creating project in Amman

THRESHOLDfrom JOD700,000 (≈$985,000)

The same type of project, but in the capital — a higher threshold.

Jordanian company shares

THRESHOLDfrom JOD1,000,000 (≈$1.4M)

Through a licensed broker, without founding your own project.

Alternative — returnable treasury bonds

Besides project routes, a purely financial instrument with a fixed return term is available.

INSTRUMENT

AMOUNT

WHAT TO KNOW

Returnable treasury bonds

AMOUNT$1,000,000

6-year term, interest set by the Central Bank of Jordan — funds are returned at maturity.

Projects (for comparison)

AMOUNTfrom JOD500,000

Not returnable — this is an investment in an actual business creating jobs.

Shares (for comparison)

AMOUNTfrom JOD1,000,000

Liquidity depends on the market, with no guaranteed fixed-term return.

How the process runs

Choosing a route

A project (in or outside Amman), company shares, or returnable treasury bonds.

For the project route — registration and job creation

The project must genuinely create jobs for Jordanian citizens.

For the shares route — purchasing via a licensed broker

An officially recognised intermediary in the Jordanian market.

Filing the citizenship application

With investment documents, regardless of the chosen route.

Receiving citizenship

With no mandatory physical-residency requirement.

A good fit if

You have capital from JOD500,000 (≈$705,000) for a project outside Amman that creates jobs for Jordanian citizens.

A capital-city project is preferable — then the threshold is higher (JOD700,000), but the location may be strategically more important for the business.

You have capital from JOD1,000,000 to buy shares in Jordanian companies via a licensed broker, without founding your own project.

A purely financial instrument with a defined term is preferable — then the $1M returnable treasury bonds over 6 years fit.

A poor fit if

Your capital is below JOD500,000 — the programme’s minimum threshold is not covered by any route.

You are not prepared to genuinely create jobs for Jordanian citizens — both project routes explicitly require this.

You are relying on the pre-July-2025 programme structure — current thresholds and routes have changed since that date.

You need certainty on the citizenship-processing timeline — this aspect is not covered in the available research on this page.

Frequent questions

Why is a project outside Amman cheaper?

This is an official regional discount introduced when Jordan’s government revised the programme in July 2025 — the goal is to encourage investment outside the capital rather than concentrating it in one city.

Why isn’t currency risk flagged?

The Jordanian dinar (JOD) has been officially pegged to the US dollar at 0.708 since 1995 — a long-standing Central Bank of Jordan policy, not a floating market rate.

When was the programme revised?

Jordan’s Cabinet approved the updated system on 2 July 2025 — the thresholds on this page relate to that version, not an earlier programme structure.

How do treasury bonds differ from the project routes?

Treasury bonds are a purely financial instrument with a guaranteed return after 6 years and interest set by the Central Bank; the project routes are actual investments in a business creating jobs, with no guaranteed return of capital.

How much investment has the programme attracted since launch?

Since 2018 — over JOD1.15 billion from 685 investors, creating more than 21,000 jobs for Jordanian citizens (data as of the first half of 2026).

Is continuous residence in Jordan required?

No direct mandatory physical-residency requirement, based on the available data.
