Jordanian CBI — Passive Deposit and Treasury Bond Routes
CLOSED. The zero-interest USD 1m / JOD 1m Central Bank deposit and the JOD 1m treasury bond routes were phased out by the Cabinet decision of 2 July 2025 in favour of active investment, share purchase and job creation. This is the route almost every adviser and comparison site still quotes for Jordan. It no longer exists for new applicants.
We list this as dead because much of the market still lists it as live. If a firm is quoting you a USD 1m Jordanian deposit for citizenship in 2026, it is either not reading primary sources or is hoping you will not. That tells you what you need to know about the firm.
Qualifying routes
Formerly USD 1m deposited with the Central Bank of Jordan, interest-free, for 3 years. Withdrawn July 2025.
Formerly JOD 1m in Jordanian treasury bonds. Withdrawn July 2025.

- Treat any provider still marketing this route as a red flag on their broader research quality.
