Jordan Citizenship by Investment
Jordan Citizenship by Investment
Jordan first established naturalization by investment in 1999 with its investment promotion legislation. The Jordan citizenship by investment (CBI) program was never a popular route for foreign investors, but in the last few years it has resurfaced as many high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) from the Middle East are looking for security in another country and Jordan has been relatively stable in a tormented region. Many HNWI from Syria and Palestine have applied to this program in the last few years. The Jordanian passport is not highly rated and doesn’t provide visa-free travel to Europe.

- Securities: Buy securities, valued at $1.5 million from an active investment portfolio.
- Small and Medium Enterprises: Invest $1 million in SMEs for five years
- Investment project: Make $2 million investments in any location in the country, or $1.5 million if the project is registered in any Governorate other than Amman, provided such a project creates at least 20 job opportunities and remains operational for at least three years.
