Several project routes require verified employment and investment maintenance for three years before a citizenship recommendation.
1 draft route record in Jordan
Physical presence note
Investor residence, a temporary passport and final citizenship are different stages and must not be treated as interchangeable.
PR & naturalization
Some categories can lead to a citizenship recommendation after the required compliance period; Jordan also publishes a separate five-year property residence option.
Tax note
The investor's immigration or nationality outcome does not alone determine Jordanian tax residence. Tax advice is given only by a qualified tax professional.
Documents note
Expect audited company, asset, beneficial-ownership, employment and holding-period evidence.
Frequently asked
Is every route immediate citizenship?
No. Several productive-project routes involve a temporary passport and three years of verified compliance before recommendation.
Are the older thresholds still reliable?
Not without checking. The Cabinet amended the investor criteria in July 2026.
