"important" the government's decision to allow the families of non-Jordanian
investors to work in all professions owned by the family, according to the

Petra said
the family members seeking to work must be listed on investment cards, issued
by the Ministry of Investment and Jordan Free and Development Zones Group
(JFDZ).
In a statement on Wednesday, JCI head Fathi Jaghbir said the decision is the
fruit of "true" partnership with the government and aims at supporting
the Kingdom's business environment.
The government’s decision also exempts the investors' families from the
requirement to obtain a work permit. It seeks to support the investment
climate, which would diversify expertise, facilitate investor transactions and
enhance the business environment, according to Jaghbir.
Additionally, he said the decision contributes to attracting non-Jordanian
investments to the Kingdom, and develops the existing businesses locally,
especially since family business is "an existing and vital model" for
companies operating in Jordan.
