Gateway to the Middle East — Stability, Access, and Prestige
Jordan, a key player in the Middle East with strong ties to the West, offers a Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program designed to attract foreign investors who contribute significantly to its economy. Launched in 2018 and revised in 2021, the program is regulated by the Jordan Investment Commission (JIC) and provides a legal pathway to Jordanian nationality for qualifying investors.
With its political stability, strategic geographic location, and respected global reputation, Jordanian citizenship offers not only residency rights but also enhanced business and diplomatic access across the Arab world and beyond.
🔑 Key Investment Options
To qualify for Jordanian citizenship, applicants must invest in one of the following ways:
1. Bank Deposit + Treasury Bonds
- Deposit $1 million USD in the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) for 3 years (no interest)
- Purchase $1 million USD in treasury bonds with a 6-year maturity (at interest set by CBJ)
- Commit to not disposing of the investments for the required term
2. Company Investment + Job Creation
- Invest $1.5 million USD in a Jordanian company in a development or industrial zone
