Malta Citizenship By Investment

Malta offers a tightly regulated path to EU citizenship via naturalisation for exceptional services by direct investment (CES), administered by Community Malta Agency under Legal Notice 437 of 2020. The program is capped and highly selective, combining a mandatory residency period with world‑class, multi‑layer due diligence.

Pathways and contributions (subject to change):

- Exceptional direct investment to the Government of Malta: €600,000 following 36 months of residency, or €750,000 following 12 months (accelerated route).

- Property commitment held for 5 years: either purchase real estate for at least €700,000, or lease at a minimum €16,000 per year.

- Philanthropic donation: at least €10,000 to an approved Maltese NGO.

- Additional contribution of €50,000 for each dependent included.

Eligibility expectations include a clean criminal record, verified legal source of funds, robust personal and financial history, comprehensive health insurance, and high‑quality documentation. The main applicant must be at least 18, and may include a spouse, unmarried minor children, and, subject to conditions, dependent adult children and parents.

Process overview:

- Obtain Maltese residence card and establish a genuine link (12 or 36 months).

- Undergo tiered due diligence and receive eligibility approval in principle.

- Complete the exceptional investment, property, and donation, then take the Oath of Allegiance.

- Receive a Certificate of Naturalisation and apply for a Maltese passport.

Key advantages: full EU citizenship for life, with the right to live, work, study, and do business across the EU/EEA and Switzerland; strong travel mobility (visa‑free/visa‑on‑arrival to 180+ destinations, including the US via ESTA and the Schengen Area). Note that citizenship does not itself create tax residency; Malta’s tax exposure depends on residence, domicile, and source of income—seek professional advice.

Charms of pleasure the moment so blinded by desires that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their.
