Why Jordan

Jordan is the quiet option: a respected, stable monarchy, full dual citizenship, decisions at the highest levels of government, and an E-2 investor treaty with the United States — though US law now requires investor-citizens to have lived in Jordan for three years before they can use it.

The passport itself travels modestly. Clients choose Jordan for stability and regional business access — and, if they are prepared to live there, the American E-2 route. Not for visa-free Europe.

Jordan investment routes

Business outside Amman

JOD 350,000+

A Jordanian business in the provinces: JOD 500,000 (~$705,000) paid-up capital for a new project, or JOD 350,000 (~$494,000) in fixed assets for an existing one — with Jordanian jobs created.

Business in Amman

JOD 700,000

Paid-up capital or fixed assets of JOD 700,000 (~$987,000) in the capital, plus Jordanian jobs.

Amman Stock Exchange

JOD 1,500,000

About $2.1m across at least ten listed companies (max 10% in each), held five years — no leverage and no access to trading profits.

Employment route
No capital floor

Employ 150 Jordanians in Amman or 100 in the provinces, registered with Social Security. Passive bank deposits and treasury bonds were abolished in the July 2025 reform.

Straight talk on Jordan

The E-2 shortcut is gone. Since the 2022 AMIGOS Act, people who gained citizenship by investment qualify for the US E-2 visa only after three years’ domicile in Jordan.
Capital commitment is real. Minimums now start around JOD 350,000 (~$494,000) in a genuine operating business, approvals are capped at 500 a year, and only about 85 a year have been granted since 2018. We model the true cost against alternatives.
