Our strong position is that Malta offers unique strategic value as an English-speaking EU member state. Its blend of political stability, a well-established Common Law legal system, and convenient time zones for global business makes it ideal for securing EU residency without relocating. The MPRP imposes no minimum stay – you obtain your EU base while keeping full flexibility for your existing lifestyle and business commitments.

Who Qualifies for Malta Permanent Residency?

Financial Eligibility Criteria

To qualify under the Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP), the main applicant must demonstrate sufficient financial capacity by satisfying one of the following asset thresholds:

Option Total Capital Assets Minimum Financial Assets
Option A €500,000 €150,000 (e.g., cash, stocks, bonds)
Option B €650,000 €75,000 (e.g., cash, stocks, bonds)

In addition, the applicant must:

  • Plan to invest in accordance with the MPRP Regulations (property purchase or lease, government contribution, and philanthropic donation).
  • Have stable and regular resources sufficient to support themselves and all dependants without relying on Malta's social assistance system.
  • Maintain comprehensive health insurance covering all risks typically insured for Maltese nationals, for themselves and each dependant.

Fit-and-Proper & Due Diligence Requirements

All applicants and dependants are subject to a multi-tier due diligence process conducted by the Residency Malta Agency and its appointed service providers.

Applicants must be deemed fit and proper, which generally requires:
  • Completion of thorough background checks by the Agency's approved due diligence providers.
  • A clean criminal record (no convictions for serious crimes).
  • Not being subject to any international sanctions or restrictive measures.
  • No ongoing criminal investigation in any jurisdiction.
  • No prior denial of Maltese citizenship or residency under any other programme.
  • Not posing any threat to national security, public policy, or public health.
  • Avoiding any actions that could reasonably harm the reputation of Malta.

Permanent Residency Status – What "Permanent" Means

The permit is permanent as long as you:

Maintain the qualifying property (purchased or leased) for the initial five-year period.

Continue to meet the programme’s ongoing compliance requirements.

The residence card is renewed every five years thereafter as a straightforward administrative formality – not a re-application. We remain your long-term partner, overseeing renewals and ongoing compliance to ensure your residency status is maintained seamlessly.

Malta Investment Routes

The MPRP offers two clear pathways: Property Purchase or Lease (Rental). Both require a donation and a government contribution.

Flat Costs (Paid on Both Routes)

Administration Fee €60,000
Government Contribution €37,000
Philanthropic Donation €2,000

Property Purchase Route

Minimum Property Value €375,000
Total Government Fees €99,000

Best suited for families seeking long-term asset ownership and capital appreciation.

Property Lease Route

Minimum Annual Rent €14,000/year
Total Government Fees €99,000

Best suited for families wanting lower upfront capital and maximum financial flexibility.

Each route is governed by strict legal and compliance standards. We assess your profile and align the optimal pathway to your long-term goals.
