Frequently asked questions
What is Malta citizenship by merit?
Malta citizenship by merit is a naturalisation route for individuals whose exceptional contributions in business, science, culture, sports, or philanthropy align with Malta’s national interests.
Can my family be included?
Inclusion of household members is considered under the statutory framework and evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
The Community Malta Agency may take into account family circumstances, such as spouses, dependent children, and dependent parents, when reviewing requests for naturalisation by merit.
Do I need to live in Malta?
Yes. Requests for naturalisation by merit require evidence of a meaningful connection to Malta. The Agency reviews the duration and nature of residency and other links in accordance with Subsidiary Legislation 188.06. There is no fixed timeline, and each case is examined individually.
