Malta Citizenship by Investment
The renewed Maltese Citizenship Program offers a secure EU relocation route with a fast and straightforward residency acquisition for the entire family. Passports are issued after one year through the expedited route, and three years through the standard option. Qualifying investments start from €700,000, with several options. Initial contribution of €600,000 receive a three-year residency, after which time citizenship may be applied for, whereas a €750,000 contribution enables citizenship to become eligible after only one year. Investors must also decide whether to purchase a property at a minimum real estate value of €700,000 or rent a property at €18,000 minimum per annum. Also, applicants must donate €10,000 to a registered charitable organisation.
