- Employment creation must be validated through records from the Social Security Corporation.
As part of the application, investors must provide documentary proof of their investment.
Procedure
Jordan grants citizenship to investors who meet the program’s eligibility criteria, with a maximum of 500 approvals per year. Security clearance and financial assessments determine qualification, and the requirements—reviewed every six months—are not applied retroactively.
To initiate the process, applicants must submit completed forms, along with the necessary fees and supporting documents. Once initial due diligence checks are completed, they can proceed by selecting an investment route:
- Bank deposit and treasury bonds
- Company shares and/or investment units
- An enterprise that generates employment opportunities
After submission to the relevant government committee, the application undergoes further evaluation. If the applicant meets all conditions, approval is granted. Citizenship is officially conferred once the chosen investment is fulfilled, at which point the applicant and their qualifying family members receive Jordanian passports.
Eligible family members include the main applicant’s spouse, dependent parents, and children, covering unmarried, widowed, or divorced daughters and sons under 18.
