Three different thresholds — by location and seller type, not one figure

Residency through real estate
in Jordan

From JOD150,000 (≈$212,000) outside the Capital Governorate — the cheapest entry. Higher from a developer (JOD200,000) and from a private seller (JOD300,000). The property must be held for 5 years without sale.

Three thresholds — location and seller, not one price

The amount depends on two independent factors: where the property is and who it was bought from — a matrix of conditions, not a single ticket price.

How the process runs

Title registration for the property.
03
Filing for residence
With property-purchase documents.
04
Receiving the 5-year residence permit
Status covers the investor and family members.
05
Retaining the property for the full term
No sale or mortgage — a mandatory condition for maintaining status.

A good fit if

You have capital from JOD150,000 (≈$212,000) for property outside the Capital Governorate — the most accessible entry.
You prefer property in the capital bought from a developer — then the threshold is JOD200,000.
You plan to buy on the secondary market in the capital from a private seller — then the threshold is higher, JOD300,000.
You are prepared to hold the property for 5 years without selling or mortgaging it — a mandatory condition for maintaining status.

A poor fit if

Your capital is below JOD150,000 — the minimum threshold even for the cheapest location is not covered.
You plan to sell or mortgage the property before 5 years — status officially requires holding it for the full term.
You use the wrong threshold due to confusion between location and seller type — it’s important to correctly determine which of the three tiers your specific deal falls under.
You need citizenship, not residence — this route is separate from the citizenship-by-investment programme (see jo-cbi) and grants only temporary residence status.

Who runs this programme

Your request goes to two or three firms from this list. You see exactly which ones before it is sent, and you can exclude any of them.

This is an independent list of firms in the market, not our partners — we do not forward requests to them or receive payment for referrals. Contact them directly via the link.

Frequent questions

Why are there three thresholds instead of one?

Because the law officially distinguishes both the property’s location (inside or outside the Capital Governorate) and the seller type (developer or private individual) — this is a deliberate three-tier structure, not a source discrepancy.

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.

How does this differ from citizenship by investment?

This is a separate, cheaper route granting only 5-year residence (renewable), not citizenship — the citizenship programme (jo-cbi on this site) requires significantly higher amounts.

What happens if the property is sold before 5 years?

Status officially requires keeping the property for the full 5-year term without sale or mortgage — this is a condition of maintaining residence, not a recommendation.

When was the programme updated?

The base Cabinet framework was approved on 2 July 2025, with further amendments in July 2026.

Does the status cover family?

Yes — residence through this programme extends to the investor and family members.
