13 Investors Granted Jordanian Citizenship in Q2 2025 - Jordan News
Minister of Government Communications and official spokesperson for the government, Mohammad Al-Momani, announced that 13 investors were granted Jordanian citizenship during the second quarter of 2025. اضافة اعلان 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.

Minister of Government Communications: Jordan's Position Firm in Safeguarding Sovereignty and National Security Amid Regional Escalation
Minister of Government Communications: Jordan's Position Firm in Safeguarding Sovereignty and National Security Amid Regional Escalation Minister of Government Communications and official government spokesperson, Dr. Mohammad Al-Momani, said that Jordan is addressing the military escalation in the region from the standpoint of protecting its national sovereignty and security. اضافة اعلان In press remarks today, Al-Momani emphasized that His Majesty King Abdullah II made it clear from the outset of the crisis that Jordan will not allow any party to use its airspace or territory in the context of conflicts or hostile actions. 'Based on His Majesty's directives, Jordan will in no way serve as a battleground for military confrontations between conflicting parties. The Kingdom is a sovereign state with a duty to safeguard its security and stability,' Al-Momani stated. He affirmed that Jordan will not tolerate any violations of its sovereignty and will take appropriate measures in line with international norms to respond to any aggression or infringement. Al-Momani explained that Jordan's goal is clear: to maintain national security, stability, and the safety of citizens and their property. 'We are operating with high efficiency and continuous preparedness to minimize the impact of the current crisis on Jordan's interests across all dimensions,' he said. He stressed that Jordan's position is unequivocal: the Kingdom does not take sides in the ongoing conflict, but rather remains focused on preserving its own security and stability and avoiding involvement in conflicts in which it is not directly engaged. Al-Momani said: 'Since day one of the crisis, we have been stationed at the National Center for Security and Crisis Management, receiving information from various state institutions, including representatives from the Arab Army, the Air Force, Public Security, and numerous ministries. This center enables us to respond to the crisis effectively and appropriately.' He added: 'As a media and communications team, we were responsible for crafting the official messaging, determining how and when to release information, and identifying the key messages the Jordanian state needed to convey during the crisis. We also managed communication with various media outlets and addressed misleading, false, or inciteful news that aimed to undermine Jordan's stance.' Al-Momani noted that from the beginning of the crisis, the state adopted a media strategy for managing the escalating events, emphasizing the importance of relying on official sources of information and avoiding the spread of rumors and misinformation. He stressed that times of crisis often see a rise in rumors and false news, which requires vigilance and caution in handling such content. On a second level of response, Al-Momani pointed to the legal aspect, which involves monitoring any content or statements that violate the law or threaten national security, with appropriate legal actions taken accordingly. He confirmed that Jordan remains actively engaged in the media space—across both traditional and social media platforms—to counter any campaigns or news that incite against Jordan's position or undermine its national principles, with the goal of preserving the country's image and its consistent stance in support of regional stability. Al-Momani reaffirmed Jordan's firm commitment to preserving national sovereignty and security, stressing the importance of confronting any attempts to breach Jordanian airspace or compromise the safety of its citizens. He concluded by stating that protecting the security of citizens and national sovereignty is a sacred duty of the Jordanian state—one that it will continue to uphold unwaveringly. — (Petra)
