Malta Residency and Citizenship by Investment

Malta offers two distinct investment migration routes. The Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) provides permanent residence status for investors who make a qualifying government contribution of EUR 28,000 (if renting property) or EUR 58,000 (if purchasing property), pay an administrative fee of EUR 40,000, make a donation of EUR 2,000 to a registered philanthropic organisation, and either rent a property at EUR 10,000 per year or purchase one for EUR 300,000 (in the south or north or on Gozo) or EUR 350,000 (in other areas of Malta). The Malta Citizenship by Naturalisation for Exceptional Services (CES) route requires a contribution of EUR 750,000 after 12 months of genuine residence or EUR 600,000 after 36 months of genuine residence, plus qualifying property and an NGO donation.

The Malta CES citizenship route is the only EU citizenship by direct investment program currently available. Successful applicants receive Maltese citizenship and an EU passport, granting the right to live, work, and study in all 27 EU member states. Malta applies one of the most thorough multi-tier due diligence processes of any citizenship by investment program globally, making the Malta passport one of the most respected investment migration credentials available to international investors.

Investment Requirements

The MPRP requires a qualifying government contribution of EUR 28,000 to EUR 58,000 plus property and donation commitments. The CES citizenship route requires a contribution of EUR 600,000 (36 month residence) or EUR 750,000 (12 month residence) plus qualifying property and an NGO donation of EUR 10,000.

Residence Period

The CES citizenship route requires a minimum of 12 months (fast track at EUR 750,000) or 36 months (standard at EUR 600,000) of genuine legal residence in Malta before the citizenship naturalisation application can be submitted to the Maltese authorities.

EU Citizenship Benefits

Maltese citizens enjoy full rights as EU citizens including the right to live, work, and study in all 27 EU member states, to hold an EU passport with extensive global mobility, and to access EU consular protection outside the EU.

Due Diligence Process

Malta applies a rigorous multi-tier due diligence process involving checks by the Maltese regulatory agency and independent third party firms on all applicants and their immediate family members, ensuring the program maintains its international credibility and reputation.
