The applicant must carry on an economic activity in a sector covered by the Investment Environment Law, or hold a senior management post in an investment in Jordan. No minimum investment amount is published. The permit does not grant citizenship.

Notes
Qualifying senior posts named by the Ministry are chairman, board member, general manager, director general, and chief executive. Family members listed on the same page are the spouse, male children under 30, unmarried daughters of any age, and parents. There is no single child-age cap. Sectors covered by the Investment Environment Law qualify. Applications for those sectors go through the Ministry of Investment e-services portal. The commercial sector is the exception: the Ministry says those applications are filed on the Ministry of Interior website. The page does not publish a capital floor, a fee, a minimum stay, or a renewal term. The permit is issued for one year; renewal while the activity continues is not spelled out. Ordinary naturalization under Article 12 is a separate discretionary procedure after four years of residence. It is not a grant of this permit. See the Civil Status service card for the certificates, oath, and renunciation petition. A tax resident is a natural person actually present for at least 183 days in the tax period. Jordan taxes income arising in Jordan. Foreign income of a resident is taxed at 10 percent when it arose from funds or deposits from Jordan. Capital gains inside Jordan are generally exempt, with exceptions for depreciable assets and for sales of shares or interests in a legal person.
