How to Get Malta Residency by Investment
A Simple Route to New Opportunities
Our team simplifies the process of obtaining Maltese residency by guiding investors through each stage of the application.
Consultation with an immigration expert
Our experts will preliminarily assess your situation for compliance with the requirements of the Malta Permanent Residence by Investment program. We will also select the most suitable option for you to participate in the program with the highest success rate.
Preparation of documents
We will provide a detailed list of the required documents, provide full support during the stage of their preparation, and help to form a complete set of documents for the application, guaranteeing compliance with all program requirements.
Submitting an application
Our specialists will submit the application through a licensed local agent of the program (license No. RES-IMMV) to the official authority — the Residency Malta Agency.
The review process takes from 9 months, after which the agency confirms that the application has been properly prepared. The investor then proceeds with the required payments, makes the charitable donation, and arranges health insurance.
Completion of investments
Once your application is approved, you will need to pay the remaining investment funds, purchase or rent your chosen property, and pay the remaining government fee.
Obtaining a residence permit
All applicants (except children under 6) are required to visit Malta in person to provide biometric data. Applicants then receive an indefinite residence permit, and the residence card must be renewed every 5 years.
