The Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) is expanding its electronic services and automating its procedures as part of its digital transformation efforts, allowing citizens and investors to submit and track transactions online and reducing the need for in-person visits and paper documents.

In remarks to the Jordan News Agency (Petra), ASEZA Commissioner for Administrative and Financial Affairs Karimah Al-Dabet said the authority has officially launched 161 electronic services through its e-services portal out of a total of 180 services, bringing the automation rate to about 89 percent.

She said the most frequently used electronic services include diving trip permits, work permit applications, work visas, building licenses, and company registration and permits, in addition to various services related to investment, economic activities, tourism and other services in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone.

The number of active users of the electronic services has reached around 19,000, while approximately 74,500 applications and transactions have been completed electronically since the beginning of the current year, averaging about 9,300 electronic transactions per month, Al-Dabet said.
