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.
