Requirements and procedures for applying for MRVP are sensible and straightforward. The application is submitted with a non-refundable deposit of the contribution amount in the sum of EUR 5,500 to the IIP Agency, the government agency responsible for the applications. After rigorous due diligence tests, qualified candidates will be asked to complete the qualifying investments and are then asked to issued a residence permit. The IIP Agency will issue a Maltese residence certificate to successful applicants, which acts as a license. For the first five years of its issue the certificate will be monitored annually, and every five years thereafter.
