Jordanian Citizenship by Investment
Jordan
Jordan's citizenship by investment program was formalized under amendments to the Citizenship Law and allows investment via a fixed bank deposit (JOD 1,000,000, approximately $1.4M, or a non-interest route at approximately $750,000 equivalent), real estate purchase, or business investment. Notably, Jordan does not generally permit dual citizenship — applicants are typically required to renounce their original nationality, which significantly limits the program's appeal. Processing is handled through the Ministry of Interior. The Jordanian passport provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 57 visa-free destinations, concentrated in the Arab world and parts of Asia.
