We conduct a preliminary check of the applicants wishing to participate in the program. Our Compliance department will collect information about you from a variety of databases and open sources. Based on this review, you will get a legal opinion on the possibility of your successful participation in the program.

Thus, we minimize the possibility of refusal to grant our client a Malta permanent residence.

You can sign a contract with us either in one of our offices or remotely. All you need to do is provide us with scanned copies of your and your family members’ passports, so that we can draft our contract.

Please, note that only a certified agent is entitled to accompany the application process as well as prepare and submit relevant documents to Identity Malta. Our company IMIN Malta ltd is licensed by Identity Malta No. IIP093.

Timeframe: 8-12 days

Typically, preparation and submission of the papers take one week.

We will prepare all the documents, fill in the necessary forms and apostille the papers, if required. The only thing you have to do is to sign the forms! Additionally, we will write for you a cover letter so as to ensure all formalities are properly dealt with.

Timeframe: 1-2 months

Upon submitting the application together with the supporting documents, some of them will be subject to due diligence checks. At this stage, it will be necessary to pay EUR 5,500 to cover the costs (this amount is included in the one-time administrative fee).

Typically, due diligence checks take no longer than two months.

Timeframe: 1-2 weeks

Once Identity Malta releases its approval of your application, you will need to pay EUR 24,500 which is the remaining part of the administrative fee. Next, you will need to invest in bonds as well as buy or rent property in Malta.

We will arrange the process of buying bonds and renting/purchasing real estate. We will open an account in one of the Maltese banks and prepare the bailment entitling us to invest in bonds on your behalf. Next, we will find a property available for rental or purchase according to the requirements of the program. Our Maltese lawyer will finalize the deal.

Timeframe: 1-3 days

In order to submit your biometric data and obtain a permanent residence card, you will need to travel to Malta in person. We recommend that you schedule two or three days for this trip. Additionally, it is desirable to arrive between Monday to Thursday since all Maltese agencies close on Friday afternoon.

Malta permanent residence cards are granted for five years with the possibility of renewal and extension. Going forward, the card will be re-issued every five years. Reissue of the card is a purely technical formality. You will only need to fill in the application form and submit your photo.

Timeframe: 5 years

You will be able to sell the bonds and redeem the invested funds in five years. We provide guidance through this process as well. Your Malta permanent residence status is valid for a lifetime.

Likewise, you will no longer be obliged to cover the maintenance costs for your property after five years. If necessary, you will be able to terminate your rental contract or sell your Maltese property.
