The Jordanian government welcomes high-net-worth individuals who make a substantial, qualified investment that strengthens the country’s economy through foreign direct investment. Through this program, investors and their immediate family members can obtain Jordanian citizenship within just three months.

Procedures for the Jordan Citizenship by Investment Program

Applications for Jordanian citizenship require completed forms, the applicable fees, and supporting documents. The program accepts a maximum of 500 applications per year, subject to security clearance and verification of the applicant’s financial eligibility. Requirements are reviewed every six months and are not applied retroactively.
After initial due diligence, applicants can select their preferred investment option, such as a bank deposit and treasury bonds, company shares or units, or an enterprise that generates employment.
Once the application is submitted to the relevant government committee and all due diligence checks are successfully completed, the application may be approved if the eligibility criteria are met. After completing the chosen investment, the applicant and their included family members receive Jordanian citizenship and passports.
Citizenship extends to the main investor, spouse, children (including unmarried, widowed, or divorced daughters and sons under 18), and dependent parents.
