Citizenship by investment

Jordanian citizenship and passport for the investor and immediate family.

Who qualifies

Citizenship can be granted for a $1,000,000 deposit at the Central Bank of Jordan, or the purchase of $1,000,000 in Jordanian treasury bonds held for at least 6 years; a share-purchase option requires at least JD 1,500,000 (about $2,115,000) in new shares of a Jordanian company, held for at least 5 years and capped at 10% ownership of any one company.

Whether you keep your U.S. citizenship depends on the option you choose later.

Does it fit your family?

One question, from the program’s own rules.

Savings you could move or invest?

Not legal advice.

What it takes.

Investment: About $1,000,000.
Time: 6–12 months from application to citizenship decree, subject to the annual 500-applicant cap.
Cost: The qualifying investment ($1,000,000+ or JD 1,500,000+ in shares) plus legal and due-diligence fees of $20,000–40,000.
The hard part: Getting one of the limited annual slots, and keeping the qualifying investment locked in for the full holding period (5–6 years) without early exit.

Dollar figures are converted from the local currency at the rate the program’s research used; the official figure is in the local currency.

Citizens by 2028.

2028
Citizenship and passport
Usually 3–12 months from filing.

Language: Reads and writes Arabic (art. 12).
Two passports: It depends on the rules at the time and on your home country.

Citizenship itself for share purchases; on the new-project option the family first gets residence, then a three-year temporary passport, and full citizenship only after three years of checked jobs and investment.

The law behind these dates

Jordan Times — Cabinet introduces new rules for granting citizenship through investment (2 July 2025)

Living there.

Time you must spend there: The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax: Citizenship alone does not make you a Jordanian tax resident; that depends on actually living there.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
