In comparison, 17 investors had obtained citizenship in the first quarter, with a total investment value of around 32 million dinars, generating approximately 600 job opportunities for Jordanians.
Minister of Investment, Muthanna Gharaibeh, stated that since 2018, a total of 561 investors have been granted Jordanian citizenship, noting that Syrian and Iraqi investors top the list of recipients.
He explained that recent amendments to the regulations governing the granting of citizenship to investors aim to increase job opportunities and enhance the value added to the Jordanian economy.
Gharaibeh also noted that the investment encouragement decision will stimulate stock market activity without causing inflation in the Amman Stock Exchange, adding that the move will energize the financial market in Amman.
During a session held on Wednesday, chaired by Prime Minister Dr. Jaafar Hassan, the Cabinet approved new criteria for granting Jordanian citizenship or residency through investment, based on recommendations by the special investors committee.
Under the new regulations, investors or non-investors may be granted a five-year residency — or have their existing residency renewed — regardless of their previous duration of stay in the Kingdom, provided they purchase real estate from a licensed developer valued at no less than 200,000 dinars (based on the Department of Land and Survey’s appraisal), retain the property for at least five years without selling or mortgaging it, and receive a recommendation from the investors committee at the Ministry of Interior.
For residency renewal, the applicant must still own the same property or a new one of equal value. After being reviewed by the technical committee, the application is forwarded directly to the Minister of Interior’s delegate at the investment window, without requiring the property to be held in escrow.
