1. Preliminary Due Diligence. All family members passed an initial check against international legal and business information databases. Thabo and Irene were also checked for harmful or compromising information materials on the Internet.
One day later, a certified Anti Money Laundering Officer concluded that the client could participate in the Malta Residence and Visa Programme with minimal denial risk.
2. Collection and execution of documents. Immigrant Invest’s lawyers made a list of needed documents for the application:
Passports.
Certificate of no criminal records.
Birth certificate for parents and children.
Marriage certificate.
Wealth history for the main applicant.
List of assets — real estate, owned companies, securities, deposits.
List of affiliated companies where the investor is a direct or indirect shareholder or a director.
Thabo provided the originals. Lawyers submitted documents for translation and certification and filled out forms on behalf of the applicant. After that, the lawyers applied to the Malta Residence and Visa Agency (MRVA).
To include children in the forms, Thabo brought the documents confirming that they are principally dependent applicants. It was a bank statement with money received by kids, payment for their study in Germany and other costs for their living.
3. MRVA Due Diligence. During the process, MRVA requested additional information about Thabo’s business activities in a commercial company five years ago. The client provided a statement from the tax service about the company without any debts.
4. Fulfilment of the investment condition. The Malta Residence and Visa Agency sent a notice of approval to Immigrant Invest. Thabo paid €30,000 of the administration fee within two weeks of approval.
5. Renting a property. Thabo decided to acquire a Malta permanent residency by renting real estate. Immigrant Invest lawyers helped to select the appropriate apartment.

6. Fingerprinting in Malta. Thabo and Irene travelled to Malta and provided their fingerprints at the MRVA.
7. Final approval. The Malta Residence and Visa Agency reviewed the additional documents provided by the lawyers after Thabo had fulfilled all the programme conditions. After that, Immigrant Invest received the final approval.
8. Getting permanent residence cards. The Malta Residence and Visa Agency issued a Certificate of Residence and permanent residence cards and sent them to Immigrant Invest lawyers in Malta. Thabo got the documents by courier and didn’t have to visit Malta to collect them.
