The main ways to buy real estate in Jordan

If you want to buy a property in Jordan and get residency, you have two options:

• purchasing the desired property the regular way;
• accessing theresidency by investment program.

Each of the two options has its advantages, and choosing between them requires weighing the pros and the cons.

Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of buying a property in Jordan through the usual pathway:

• you can establish the budget for your purchase – this is the main advantage with this type of acquisition;
• you are not required to live in the country after the purchase;
• on the other hand, if you want to settle in Jordan, you will need to live there at least 5 years to secure permanent residency.

If you decide to apply for residency by investment, you need to consider the following:

• as an advantage, you will obtain a 5-year renewable residence permit immediately, thus skipping the 5-year ordinary residency requirement;
• the same residency is available for your close relatives, including adult children aged below 24;
• you can buy one or more properties with a minimum value of JOD 200,000 (about USD 280,000), bought from a real estate developer since July 2025.

The main disadvantage of buying a property to obtain residency in Jordan is the minimum investment requirement of USD 280,000.

Please note that Jordan is one of the few golden visa countries to also have a separate citizenship by investment program. However, it does not enable property acquisition.

How to buy a property in Jordan and get direct residency

If you consider the investment route, you will skip the separate residency application formalities, as they will be completed as soon as you buy the Jordanian property. Please note that to be considered for the golden visa, you need to buy the property after filing an application with the Ministry of Interior's committee for investors. You don’t need to worry about this process, as our local agents can help you.

Here are the main requirements if you decide to apply for residency in Jordan through the investment program:

• the value of the property must be confirmed through an appraisal process completed by the Land Department in Jordan;
• you must maintain your investment, namely the property, for at least 5 years, following which you can sell it;
• you cannot exit Jordan for more than 6 months per year if you want to retain your permanent residency.

Even if you cannot sell the property after purchase, you can rent it and thus recover some of the money injected in the investment.
