What investment option or options qualify?

The Ministry’s property-residence page lists three alternatives: one property bought exclusively from a real-estate developer; one property bought from another type of seller; or one or more properties outside the Capital Governorate, without requiring purchase from a developer. The route grants residence for property ownership. The page’s separate citizenship investment programmes do not establish citizenship from these property purchases.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The operative decision/effective date for the expanded options is not identified; the linked Principles PDF lists only the developer option.
  • Section III, Five-Year Residency Through Property Ownership, opening paragraph
    A five-year renewable residency permit is granted upon the purchase of one property only , exclusively from a real estate developer, with a value of no less than JOD (200,000) , or upon the purchase of one property from a party other than a real estate developer with a value of no less than JOD (300,000) , or upon the purchase of one or more properties outside the Capital Governorate with a total value of no less than JOD (150,000) , without the requirement that the purchase be made through a real estate developer, according to the appraisal of the Department of Lands and Survey.

What official minimum amount, tier or threshold applies to each relevant option?

The published minimums are JOD 200,000 for one property from a developer, JOD 300,000 for one property from another seller, or JOD 150,000 in total for one or more properties outside the Capital Governorate. These are alternatives, assessed by the Department of Lands and Survey, and are investment values. The property section does not state application, renewal or property-transfer fees. The linked Principles PDF still specifies only the JOD 200,000 developer option, so confirmation of the effective rules is needed.

Limits of the record
  • Current government/transfer fees and effective decision for expanded thresholds remain unconfirmed.
  • Section III, Five-Year Residency Through Property Ownership, opening paragraph
    A five-year renewable residency permit is granted upon the purchase of one property only , exclusively from a real estate developer, with a value of no less than JOD (200,000) , or upon the purchase of one property from a party other than a real estate developer with a value of no less than JOD (300,000) , or upon the purchase of one or more properties outside the Capital Governorate with a total value of no less than JOD (150,000) , without the requirement that the purchase be made through a real estate developer, according to the appraisal of the Department of Lands and Survey.
  • Eighth, physical PDF page 5
    Eighth: Granting the investor (or a non-investor individual) residency in the Kingdom for a period of (5) years, renewable, regardless of previous residency periods, upon purchasing a property from a real estate developer with a value not less than (200,000) two hundred thousand Jordanian dinars, as per the valuation of the Department of Lands and Survey. The property must be retained for no less than (5) years without disposal or mortgage. Residency shall be issued following the recommendation of the investors’ committee at the Ministry of Interior. Upon renewal, the applicant must continue to own the same property or a replacement property of equal value. The application shall be reviewed by the technical committee and referred to the authorized representative of the Minister of Interior at the investment window for direct processing, without the requirement of a holding restriction.

How long must the investment be maintained and what continuing ownership, investment or physical-presence conditions are important?

The property must be held for five years without sale or mortgage. At renewal the investor must still own the same property or acquire another of equivalent value. The sources use different wording about release of the holding restriction at renewal, which requires clarification; they do not support disregarding the initial five-year prohibition. A minimum number of days of physical presence was not established in the property provisions consulted.

Which family members can be included where officially stated, and what broad residence/work rights result?

The property section states that the investor and eligible family members receive renewable five-year residence. It does not identify the qualifying family relationships or give them an automatic right to work.

Limits of the record
  • Exact eligible family relationships and work rights are not established by the property section.
  • Section III, family bullet
    Residency is granted to the investor and eligible family members for a period of five (5) years , renewable.

What status is obtained, how is it renewed, what longer-term residence/citizenship direction is officially stated, and what happens to the investment when relevant?

The investor must retain the original property or acquire one of equivalent value for renewal. Applications may be submitted through the Ministry of Investment E-Services Portal. The property provisions do not establish a direct citizenship entitlement. The linked Principles PDF also specifies initial committee review, security and solvency checks, a shared annual ceiling, and revocation for non-compliance, but their continued application under the expanded property options requires confirmation.
