Investment Immigration Malta

Malta is a truly attractive private residence location. The island nation enjoys a stable political climate and a strategic location, with excellent air connections. The Malta Residence and Visa Program (MRVP) offers non-Maltese people the opportunity to purchase an EU residence card which offers visa-free travel within the Schengen area of Europe.

The Malta Citizenship Investment Plan, known as the Malta Individual Investor Program (MIIP), targets at individuals with ultra-high net worth. Individual investors must make a minimum contribution of €650,000 to the Government’s national development fund, invest €150,000 in government-approved financial instruments and commit to a Malta residence either for rent or purchase for a minimum of 5 years. The value of the property must be a minimum of €350,000 for purchased real estate. For renting this is a €16,000 pa commitment. Growing member of the family will also donate a total of €25,000 annually to the construction fund. The benefits after having resided for one year are citizenship and a second Maltese passport. In turn, this gives European citizenship and the ability to live, work and study anywhere in the European Union.
