Malta residence permit or citizenship by real estate investment
In Malta, there are state programs for obtaining a residence permit and permanent residence: Malta Global Residence Programme and Malta Permanent Residence Programme for investors.
One of the program’s conditions is renting or purchasing real estate. Maltese property owners can also obtain citizenship by naturalisation for exceptional services by direct investment if they pass a rigorous Due Diligence check and prove their ties to the country.
