Overview
This is Jordan's Annual Residence for Five Years - a longer-validity residence permit administered by the Ministry of Interior through the Public Security Directorate. It is aimed at people with a long, lawful connection to Jordan (for example long-term residents and residential-property owners) who want a more stable stay than renewing every year. Important: despite the name, this is a renewable residence permit, not a permanent-residence card, and it does not by itself grant citizenship. Eligibility typically involves either owning a registered residential property in Jordan or placing a bank deposit, with conditions that have recently been eased for long-term property owners.
