Jordan Is Handing Out Passports But Only If You Invest Right!

In a bold move to boost the economy, the Jordanian government just approved new rules to grant citizenship or residency to investors. This decision was made during a cabinet session led by Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan and it’s all about attracting serious capital (and serious commitment).

So, how do you become Jordanian?

There are now multiple investment tracks to qualify:

• 💰 Buy shares: Invest 1 million JOD in new shares of Jordanian companies (and hold them for 3 years).

• 🏭 Start a new project: Put in at least 700,000 JOD in Amman or 500,000 JOD elsewhere and hire 20 Jordanians (or 10 outside the capital).

• 🏢 Join existing projects: Buy new shares in existing businesses with capital of 1 million JOD and at least 500,000 JOD in assets and create jobs.

• 🧾 Already invested? If your assets average 700,000 JOD in Amman (or 350,000 JOD elsewhere) and you've been keeping 90% of your jobs filled, you’re in.

• 💊 Targeted sectors: If you're investing in pharma, food logistics, medical devices, or storage and spending 3 million JOD that’s a fast track too.

• 👷 Super employer? Hire 150 Jordanians in the capital or 100 outside and keep them on payroll for 2 years post-citizenship = approved.

What about residency?

Easy, buy real estate worth at least 200,000 JOD (from a developer), hold it for 5 years, and you can get a 5-year renewable residency.

Bonus: Bring the fam

Spouses, unmarried kids, and even adult sons (in some cases) can be included especially if you invest more than 2 million JOD.

But there are rules

• You can’t recycle shares from someone who already used them to get citizenship.

• It’s limited to 500 investors a year.

• And yes, if you break the terms, you lose the passport or residency.

• Everything will be reviewed every 6 months.

Straightforward, ambitious, and investor-friendly. Jordan’s rolling out the red carpet (and a passport) for those ready to invest smart.
