Malta Residency Program
The new Malta Permanent Residence Program was launched on 27th March 2021. It offers non-EU foreign investors the ability to obtain a valid European residence permit quickly and legally. Applicants and their families can live permanently in the country and can travel freely to all Schengen countries if the conditions are met. The program requires investors to make a certain contribution to the government of Malta and a qualifying investment within the country along with the minimum donation to the approved NGO in Malta. Investors can apply for naturalization as Maltese citizens after continuously residing in Malta for a minimum period of 5 years. To be eligible to apply for the program, investors must meet the main condition of proving that they are in possession of assets amounting to €500,000 (out of which €150,000 should be in the form of financial assets).
