Risks, limitations, and uncertainty

Notes on changes, conflicts, and limits.

Present
Investment note (Sept 2026)Published
Thresholds from the 15 July 2026 Cabinet amendment. The competitor's US$282,000 figure is the Amman developer route; the lowest route is JOD 150,000 outside Amman. USD at the JOD peg (about 1.41). Property residency does not lead to Jordanian citizenship; citizenship needs the separate share, project or employment routes
Plan B note (Sept 2026)Published
Residency route only: holding the property does not open a path to Jordanian citizenship. Residency is cancelled if the property is sold or mortgaged within five years or other conditions are breached. The 2025 reform also dropped the JOD 10,000 deposit for property owners renewing residency. Thresholds are reviewed every six months.
