Answers to frequently asked questions
Yes, you can. But you’ll have to get a residence permit and live in Malta permanently for at least 5 years. To get an initial residence permit you’ll need a valid cause, such as marriage to a Maltese citizen, work, or study.
The timeline varies depending on several factors, such as the time required to gather documents, secure a property, and meet investment conditions. Once the documents are submitted, the application typically takes 6+ months to process. Additional time may be needed for final approval and issuance of the residence cards.
Yes, if the investor purchases real estate as part of the programme, they can sell the property after five years and recoup their investment. Additionally, the property can be rented out during this period. However, rental payments, administration and contribution fees, and charitable donations are non-refundable.
To maintain permanent residence in Malta, the Residency Malta Agency will check each year for the first five years to ensure you meet the programme’s conditions. This includes holding assets worth €500,000, with at least €150,000 in liquid financial assets. You must also continue to own or rent property in Malta, with rental costs of at least €10,000 or €12,000 per year, depending on the property's location.
After five years, you can sell the property and dispose of the assets, but you'll need to keep a registered address in Malta to retain your permanent residence status. At this point, the property you rent or own can be more affordable than the original programme requirements.
