Overview
Full Jordanian citizenship for sector investors deploying USD 1.5M (or USD 1M outside Amman) and creating 20 Jordanian jobs for 3 years.
Jordan's Citizenship by Investment program offers a sector-investment pathway for foreign investors funding productive projects in priority sectors (industrial, tourism, agriculture, ICT, healthcare). Administered by the Jordan Investment Commission (JIC), it is granted by Cabinet decision and targets job-creating projects.
The qualifying investment is JOD 1,050,000 (USD 1.5M) in any governorate, or JOD 700,000 (USD 1M) outside Amman, in both cases creating at least 20 jobs for Jordanians and remaining operational for three consecutive years. Successful applicants and immediate family receive full Jordanian citizenship; dual nationality is permitted.
This visa is ideal for an industrial or sector-focused investor deploying USD 1M+ into a Jordanian project and willing to sustain 20 Jordanian jobs for three years to obtain family citizenship.

Advantages & Considerations
Key Benefits
- Direct pathway to full Jordanian citizenship and passport on completion of the 3-year holding period.
- Family inclusion: spouse, dependent children and parents receive Jordanian citizenship alongside the investor.
- Dual citizenship is permitted under Jordanian law.
- Lower threshold (USD 1M / JOD 700K) for projects registered outside the Amman governorate.
- No long-term physical residency requirement to maintain status.
- Qualification for the US E-2 Investor Visa under the Jordan-US bilateral treaty.
- Access to Jordan's free-trade-agreement network and strategic Middle East location.
Worth Knowing
- Investment must remain operational for at least 3 consecutive years; capital is illiquid during this period.
- Must create and sustain at least 20 full-time jobs for Jordanian nationals, verified by the Social Security Corporation.
- Final citizenship grant is discretionary and made by Cabinet decision after JIC verification.
- Project must be a productive economic activity in a JIC-recognised priority sector, not a passive holding.
- Passive investments, real-estate-only holdings and shell structures do not qualify; must be a real operating business.
- Failing to maintain the capital or 20 Jordanian jobs over 3 years voids the citizenship pathway.
