Jordan's Cabinet-approved criteria, administered by the Ministry of Investment / Invest Jordan, provide citizenship routes through qualifying securities, productive projects, business expansion or sustained job creation. Several project routes require a multi-year compliance period, often with a temporary three-year passport before a recommendation for full citizenship. Dual nationality is routinely permitted on this economic pathway.

A non-Jordanian adult may apply to the Council of Ministers after four years of regular residence and an intention to reside in Jordan. The Cabinet may grant or refuse the certificate and may waive the residence period for an Arab applicant or in the public interest with royal approval. Ordinary naturalization under the Nationality Law requires loss of the prior nationality; this renunciation rule is distinct from the investor Cabinet pathway.
