Malta Citizenship by Investment
To qualify for Maltese citizenship under the current regulations, applicants must fulfill several key requirements.
The first requirement is a contribution of at least EUR 600,000 for a minimum residence period of 36 months, or EUR 750,000 for a minimum residence period of 12 months.
Additionally, applicants must either purchase a residential property in Malta valued at a minimum of EUR 700,000, which must be held for at least five years, or lease a property with an annual rental value of at least EUR 16,000, also for a minimum of five years.
Finally, a donation of at least EUR 10,000 to a registered non-governmental organization in Malta is required. This can be a sport, cultural, scientific, philanthropic, animal welfare, or artistic organization approved by the Community Malta Agency.

The Malta Citizenship by Naturalisation for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment process includes one of the world’s most rigorous due diligence procedures, consisting of a four-tier background check. Applicants must be over 18 years old, and each application is thoroughly vetted to ensure it meets the highest standards of integrity.
Applicants must reside in Malta for a minimum of 36 months (or 12 months by exception) during which time they must have a valid residence card. After completing the residence period and fulfilling all investment, donation, and property requirements, applicants will be invited to take an oath of allegiance in Malta and receive their certificate of naturalization.
Maltese citizenship offers extensive benefits, including visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to approximately 190 destinations worldwide, the opportunity to include family members (spouse, children, parents, and grandparents) in the main application, and access to a reputable financial and business environment. Malta’s strategic location with excellent air links also makes it an attractive place to live or own a second home.
The application process is managed by the Community Malta Agency, and once citizenship is granted, continuous monitoring will be conducted for five years. The agency ensures compliance with all requirements and maintains Malta’s reputation as a trusted jurisdiction. Processing times typically range based on the residence period chosen.
There are no restrictions on dual citizenship in Malta, allowing applicants to maintain their current nationality while enjoying the benefits of Maltese citizenship.
