Jordan
The Gulf & Middle East0 independent articlesRed Sea Aqaba, Dead Sea wellness and Amman — stable, with a residency route.
Jordan is a stable, welcoming Middle-Eastern base with three distinct draws: the Red Sea resort of Aqaba (a special economic zone with investor incentives), the wellness-tourism Dead Sea, and cosmopolitan Amman. Foreigners buy with government approval (reciprocity-based), and a JOD 200,000+ purchase held five years supports residency; rental profits repatriate freely.
Can foreigners buy?
Open with approval: foreigners buy with Council of Ministers consent (reciprocity); Aqaba's ASEZ is especially investor-friendly. JOD 200k+ held 5 yrs supports residency.
Taxes & buying costs
Transfer/registration ~5–6% (Aqaba ASEZ incentives reduce costs); no annual property tax on many homes; rental income taxed; profits repatriable.
