Malta's pathway to citizenship overview
If you have not yet discovered the European Union’s most underrated gem, hidden away in the middle of the Mediterranean, let us introduce it to you: Malta, the Jewel of the Mediterranean. Living in Malta is diving into an immeasurable wealth of history, natural beauty, and the opportunity of a lifetime you will not want to miss – including the benefits of a friendly tax regime and EU Residency with one of the best Residency by Investment programs in Europe
Out of all the investment immigration programs available in Malta, the Permanent Residence Program stands out as the best Residency by Investment solution in the country. It is open to nearly all non-EU nationals except for those at the discretion of the government.
It provides a Real Estate-exclusive investment path to Residency in Malta. After 5 years, the Residency holder will be able to apply for Citizenship. The necessary amount to invest and purchase property in Malta starts at €300,000 in the South of Malta/Gozo and €350,000 in the rest of Malta.
How to apply for the Malta Permanent Residence Program and become a Resident
Mirroring other Residency programs available in Europe, the documents required to apply are extensive. Among them, you can expect to supply a legal, valid passport, a clean criminal record, medical insurance covering all the applicants, proof of being able to provide and maintain yourself and your dependents in Malta, and proof of assets in the amount of €500,000 – of which a minimum of €150,000 must be financial in origin.
After the application has been successfully submitted, and Residency status has been acquired, there are further obligations. For the first 5 years, a yearly declaration will also have to be issued stating there have been no changes regarding the status of the property
ownership; that the main applicant is still in possession of financial assets in the amount of €500,000 – of which €150,000 must be financial; and that everyone in the application is still fully covered by medical insurance.
