1. Documents collection and submitting. Dikran signed a document in which his new family composition is fixed in the consulate of Malta in Yerevan. The investor signed the same document when he applied for Malta permanent residence for the first time.
To the document, Immigrant Invest lawyers filled out all the necessary forms to join Karine and her children to the program. The forms were the same if they were submitted simultaneously with the investor. Also, the lawyers attached Karine’s passport, Karine’s and her children’s international passports, children’s birth certificates, and Karine’s police clearance certificates.
The investor paid the fee of €5,000 for adding a spouse and two children. Immigrant Invest lawyers have submitted documents to the Residency Malta Agency. To the application, they attached a check confirming that the investor has paid the affiliation fee. The whole process took two weeks.

2. Getting approval. A month after submitting the documents, Dikran got approval to join his family members to Malta residence permit.
Immigrant Invest lawyers registered Karine and her children for submitting the biometrics in Malta — Karine chose 8 August 2021.
3. Submitting biometrics. In 2021, Malta did not issue visas for Permanent Residence Programme participants due to covid. But it was possible to visit Malta on an open Schengen visa.
Karine and her children received a Schengen visa to Greece in a week. They flew to Athens and spent two weeks on the coast of Greece.
After that, they flew from Athens to Malta with new PCR tests. At the airport in Malta, they showed the Schengen visa of Greece, PCR and a record for biometrics.
Karine and her children were accompanied by an Immigrant Invest lawyer from the airport to the Residency Malta Agency.
In Malta, the family members have been fingerprinted, which will be entered into biometric permanent residence cards. After, Karine and her children flew to Yerevan. The biometry submission process took one day.

4. Obtaining residence permit cards. In two weeks, the Residency Malta Agency issued certificates of residence and permanent residence cards for Karine and her children and sent them to Immigrant Invest lawyers in Malta.
Karine and her children got the documents by courier to the address Dikran had indicated.
Excluding the two weeks clients spent in Athens and the one month between approval and the client’s chosen biometric day, the process took two months.
