Residence visa

Welcome on board 

On the main page of the Jordanian forum there is a sticky topic called great links for newbies.
It contains a governmental website with useful information.
I suggest to check that out.

Good luck with searching.

it depends on your nationality, some nationalities have to apply to visa in their Homeland, the other they get it in the airport.

I don't think that it is easy for a Pakistan national to obtain a visa in Jordan . Check the embassy though just to be sure. You would need a valid reason such as a Job or be married to a Jordanian.

Good luck!

For 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.
