Foreigner acquiring Jordanian permanent residence

1POSTS

5 years ago

Hello,

I鈥檓 a Canadian citizen with an Arab background but no other passport or citizenship. I saw that Jordan passed a law to give permanent residence to any foreigner who buys property in Jordan.

My question is:

Can that property be in the countryside such as agricultural lands? Because I don鈥檛 want to live in the hustle and bustle of Amman.

Also, who can I speak to in order to arrange the specifics of buying the land and then applying for permanent residence? Does it take a long time? Does it have to be all one property? If I move there and purchase a small piece of land and then save more money to buy more land in order to be eligible for permanent residence, is that ok?

Because I think you have to purchase property worth 200 000 JOD! That鈥檚 a lot of money鈥�

Thanks so much for any help or advice

Hi

Similar situation to you but from United Kingdom - I contacted the British Embassy in Amman and they provided a list of approved solicitors to contact. I recommend you contact the Canadian Embassy in聽 Amman.

Thanks

a temporary residence, it can be easily obtained through employment. Residency expires with the expiry date of the contract of employment. For a permanent residency, the legal procedure can be either through investement or owning a piece of land. Investment is hefty in Jordan and a little bit complicated. Most expats go for the second option which is owning a cheap piece land or a property. My uncle owns several pieces of cheap lands and he knows how to get a permanent residency without hassles. But the question is that what attracts you to a country with unstable economy like jordan. If I were you I will opt for a country with a more robust economy.
