A transfer inside Jordan by phone number: up to 10,000 dinars at a time
10,000 dinars ($15,000) is the upper limit of one instant transfer in the Central Bank of Jordan's system, and each bank sets its own limit within it. Money is sent by phone number or a short account alias, and such transfers between individuals are free: the fees introduced on 1 October 2025 apply only to shops and companies. The central bank has said it does not plan to charge for transfers between people.
In 2023 the system handled 30.21 million transfers, and today all the country's large banks use it. The scheme is simple: money from abroad arrives by bank transfer to the recipient's account, and from there they pay rent, tuition and purchases by phone number in seconds.
It is more convenient for a family in Jordan to receive money to its own account: from there it pays by phone without going to the bank. Life in the capital is covered on the Amman page, and the country as a whole on the Jordan page.
A flat in Jordan: deal approval, a fee of about 9% and a residence permit
Foreigners made 1,046 property deals in Jordan in the first half of 2026, 653 of them flat purchases. A foreigner buys a home with government approval, while in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone the procedure is simpler: the zone has operated since 2001, and its own authority handles land deals there. A flat bought to live in can be resold 3 years after purchase.
The registration fee is about 9% of the price, shared by the buyer and the seller: on a flat at $200,000 (141,800 dinars) this is up to $18,000. A purchase gives a 5-year residence permit: from 200,000 dinars ($290,000) from a developer in the capital, from 300,000 dinars ($430,000) on the capital's resale market and from 150,000 dinars ($220,000) outside the capital.
The price of the flat is sent from abroad, and the bank matches it with the contract and the deal approval. So that the money arrives by the right date, we will suggest the best way to send the price and the fee. Properties are on the property in Jordan page, and citizenship by investment in the article on the cost of Jordanian citizenship.
We will help you send money to Jordan
Mistakes cost more than fees: paying for a flat before the deal is approved, a price below the residence permit threshold when the permit was the goal of the purchase, a sum with no margin for the fee of about 9%. We will help you avoid them: we will choose the route and timing, prepare the documents on the source of the money for the bank and the seller, and see the transfer through to crediting.
Details and terms are with a manager in the chat: they depend on the sum and the purpose of the transfer.
The amount of a transfer to Jordan and documents: three levels
- Up to $10,000. The bank checks the recipient and the purpose: university study, medical treatment, family expenses.
- $10,000-100,000. A statement of the sender's account and a contract are needed: a lease, a study agreement, a preliminary contract for a flat.
- From $100,000. The bank looks at the source of the money and the contract with the developer, and an investment from 500,000 dinars ($710,000) in a new project outside the capital opens the way to citizenship. For this sum a manager will help put the documents together.
How to prove where the money came from is described in the article on proof of source of funds. The procedure for moving with all your capital is on the capital relocation page, and the passport terms on the Jordanian citizenship page.
