Jordan Citizenship by Investment

What Are the Requirements for Jordan Citizenship by Investment?

Investment options:

Zero-Interest Deposit at the Central Bank of Jordan — from USD 1,000,000 held for 3 years

Place a zero-interest deposit at the Central Bank of Jordan starting at USD 1,000,000 for a minimum 3-year retention period. Funds are returned at the end of the hold without accrued interest. The simplest and most predictable route, with no operational or employment requirements.

Jordan Treasury Bonds — from USD 1,000,000 held for 6 years

Invest in Jordan government treasury bonds at the rates set by the Central Bank, starting at USD 1,000,000 and held for a minimum 6-year retention period. Longer hold than the deposit route, but yields government-rate returns rather than zero interest. Bonds are the only route with a 6-year retention.

More details

Securities via the Amman Stock Exchange — from USD 1,500,000 held for 3 years

Purchase shares or stakes in publicly traded Jordanian companies through the Amman Stock Exchange, with a minimum investment of USD 1,500,000 held for at least 3 years. The investment must be in eligible Jordanian-registered entities listed on the exchange.

More details

SME Investment Outside the Amman Governorate — from USD 750,000 with 20+ employees, held for 3 years

Invest USD 750,000 or more in a small or medium-sized Jordanian enterprise located outside the Amman governorate. The business must employ at least 20 Jordanians on the local payroll and maintain operations for at least 3 years. The lowest-cost route, with material operational and employment-creation commitments.

Why Jordan: The Strategic Heart of the Middle East

Jordan is home to the world-famous archaeological site of Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

It is also an attractive destination for foreign investment due to its strategic location in the Middle East, its relatively open economy, and its low corruption levels. The country welcomes foreign direct investment across manufacturing, tourism, agriculture, finance, and IT. Foreign investors benefit from incentives including tax exemptions, free land grants in approved zones, and business support, plus Jordan's extensive network of free trade agreements with major economies including the United States, the European Union, and most of the Arab world.
