AMMAN — The Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship and the Jordan Armed Forces – Arab Army (JAF) announced on Wednesday the opening of applications for military service deferment for eligible conscripts from the first batch, through the electronic Khidmat Al Alam platform. 

 

Deferments are available for conscripts unable to join service next year in line with the Military Service and Reserve Service Law No. 23 of 1986 and its amendments, according to a ministry statement.

 

Eligible individuals include students enrolled in annual study programmes such as medicine and pharmacy, regular school students, and those residing abroad, provided proof of residence is submitted. Applicants granted deferment must join military service immediately after the reason for the delay ends, the statement said, adding that all procedures are completed electronically, eliminating the need to visit any government office and allowing applicants to complete their requests quickly and efficiently.

 

The Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship on Monday conducted an electronic lottery to select 6,000 youth born in 2007 to perform military service next year.
