He added that the criteria for obtaining
Jordanian citizenship through investment have been amended, opening up several fields and reducing
the requirements, which are constantly being reviewed, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
He also mentioned that
residence permits and temporary
passports have been made more accessible.
He pointed out that Jordan has provided easy residency
options for investors who do not meet the citizenship requirements. The
conditions for

Instructions for granting Jordanian citizenship were issued
on December 12, 2018, with several amendments made since then. Investments were
distributed across various sectors, including industrial, tourism, medical,
educational, energy, and satellite broadcasting sectors.
Commercial sectors
In March 2022, the
Council of Ministers approved the
addition of commercial sectors to the approved productive sectors for granting
Jordanian citizenship to investors through investment.
The added sectors include pharmaceutical and medical
supplies warehouses, medical equipment, automobile and heavy machinery agencies
and showrooms, and logistics companies in the
food sector (storage and major
warehouses), along with the maritime and shipping sector.
In each of these sectors, specific investment sizes, fixed
asset requirements for the company, and the number of Jordanian employees
within and outside the capital were set as conditions for obtaining
citizenship.
