Astons is proud to be one of the original officially licensed agents for Malta’s very exclusive Residency by Investment program, along with being a specialized real estate broker for the country – Astons is your reliable, end-to-end partner in Malta.
The Malta Permanent Residence Program (MPRP) is among the most selective programs in the EU and the country is among the safest in the world. Malta provides an effective route to obtaining permanent EU residency for your whole family.
The MPRP provides entrepreneurs, investors, and families with various degrees of flexibility regarding investment channels and investment options – specifically purchasing or leasing a property. While the minimum required investment for the Malta program can be as low as [approx.] $170,000, the program also requires a substantial proof of funds in excess of half a million dollars.
However, by investing in Malta, entrepreneurs, investors, and families can secure the highly coveted EU Plan B – permanent Malta and EU residency that includes the right to live in Malta indefinitely – enjoying the country’s year-round sunshine, favorable tax regime, English as the official language, and visa-free mobility throughout the Schengen area – and ETIAS exemption to enter all of the EU.

The Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) offers several options for international investors looking to secure EU residency through a range of flexible routes.
There are no requirements to live in Malta for any minimum period, and residency holders must have medical insurance for Malta, that also covers the EU. These requirements apply only for the initial five years of residency.
As international immigration experts, Astons provide a seamless professional service, assisting with every aspect of your Maltese residency permit application.
Our accomplished team navigates the EU residency process to ensure every care, and due diligence task has been completed. This attention to detail means every application is submitted accurately and advanced to help expedite approval.
Astons’ immigration advisers will evaluate your circumstances and help you select the most suitable programme and real estate investment opportunities.
We will provide a detailed checklist and guide you through the documents collection stage.
Experienced immigration advisers will prepare all required documents along with the application, to ensure all requirements are met, including proof of investment documentation.
Astons will submit the complete application and all supporting documentation to Residency Malta, the government agency responsible for application processing. At this stage, investors will be asked to make an initial deposit of €10,000.
Once approval of the application has been acquired, Residency Malta will send the confirmation of formal validity. Application processing can take up to 6 further months, with second contributions due of €30,000 when the approval in principle is issued.
At this stage, your property investment may proceed, along with the charitable NGO donation, and proof of health insurance.
After the final approval has been received, you will be required to complete the investment and to pay the remaining amount of Government contribution: €58 000 Lease option or € 28 000 Purchase option.
All Malta citizenship applicants, with the exception of children under six years old, must at some point visit in person a Maltese embassy or the Malta Passport Office in Valletta to give their biometrics.
Applicants will receive a certificate valid indefinitely and a residence card valid for five years and renewable every following five year period.
One of only a handful of EU island nations and floating in the Mediterranean of the coast of Sicily, Malta offers laid-back charm, sophisticated European vibes, and exceptional weather. However, that is merely the tip of the iceberg for this island paradise. Malta is also an ideal destination for history buffs and the eco chic with opportunities to hike through its mountains, explore its hidden coves, and visit historical sites, including Baroque palazzi fortifications and churches.
The minimum investment for Maltese residency is determined by an investors chosen investment route and location on the island. The Malta program is open to the entire island as well as permits renting a property or purchasing a property. At it’s most accessible investment level, the MPRP requires a minimum investment of approx. €160,000 [approx. $175K].
Malta is a unique and unparalleled fusion of strategic financial and lifestyle elements. Malta epitomizes Mediterranean living, in one of the world’s safest and most secure societies, providing healthcare and infrastructure that is ranked among the best in the world. As one of the more conservative societies in Europe, Malta is an ideal Plan B for US conservatives as it echoes their social values and vision for community.
Malta’s residency by investment program is one of the few that permits entrepreneurs, investors, and families to rent property instead of purchasing property. Among the requirements that must be satisfied to leverage the investment by rental option, the property lease must have a duration of at least five years with the annual rent totaling €10K- €12K [depending upon location].
You, it is possible for permanent residents of Malta to become citizens, however that process is quite complex and involves a strict set of criteria. If Maltese and EU citizen is the actual goal of the entrepreneur, investor, or family, then the Malta citizenship by investment program is recommended as it is far more straightforward, faster, and a much more accommodating route to citizenship.
This can vary on a case-by-case basis as Malta does implement the most rigorous standards of due diligence, but on average, you can expect an application cycle of around 1 year.
Once your MPRP application is approved, all applicants are required to submit biometrics in person – either at the closest Maltese embassy or visit Malta and submit them at the official Maltese passport office in Valletta. There are no physical residency requirements.
Astons is licensed to operate in Malta and has been a fully authorized and official agent of the Malta Golden Visa since 2014. Astons’ Malta office in St. Julian’s is staffed with local experts who are experienced in both the MPRP and the Maltese real estate market.

Testimonials
Very impressed by the professional approach of the Astons team. Despite the difficult “covid” time, all issues were resolved very quickly and constructively.
As a result, the process of preparing the entire set of documents for Dominica citizenship for 3 family members took no more than a month, and the passports themselves were received in record time – 3 months after filling out the D1 questionnaire. I recommend this company to everyone.
Having reached my 60s, I am less involved with my business and was looking to travel and enjoy life with my partner. It is tough to travel with a South African passport, and obtaining visas is difficult.
I also wanted extra security due to the political situation in my home country. I required a streamlined solution with a reputable investment citizenship program. I reached out to Astons, and Igor recommended Saint Kitts and Nevis Citizenship Program, which has been operating since 1984. The team provided full support with the documents and application, as well as payments, and in three months, my wife and I became owners of the SKN passport. We are now free to travel around the world with no visa implications, and are happy to enjoy our new enhanced lifestyle!
As an IT company owner based in Delhi, I continuously travel around the world both for business and with my family. I was tired of continuous visa applications and found it impossible to fly during the pandemic.
Having decided that is was high time to secure a second passport we looked around for the fastest and most reliable solution. I contacted Astons and received a detailed quote from Konstantin, based at the London office. I was asked about my requirements and was advised to apply for Vanuatu Citizenship as the quickest and cheapest option. In just two weeks, Astons had completed my application, and two weeks later, my citizenship was approved. I went ahead with my investment, and received my passport two weeks after that, making the whole application process a total of 1.5 months start to finish! Konstantin is an expert, and the team is very professional, so I would highly recommend Astons if you are considering second citizenship and require a fast service.
I was interested in a second passport to gain protection from potential risks and attacks on my business by state inspections and other bodies. I also wanted to invest in property overseas to protect my wealth.
After consulting with the Astons experts, I decided to obtain Turkish citizenship via the real estate investment route. Astons’ team prepared a lucrative real estate portfolio for me, showcasing properties in the centre of Istanbul, with 6-7% annual profit yield and the potential to re-sell in 3 years after citizenship had been obtained. The team seamlessly and expertly prepared and submitted the documents, as well as assisting with the property acquisition. After just two months, I received my Turkish passport and would highly recommend Astons to those who are considering second citizenship.
I turned to Astons for a consultation on Caribbean passports, having seen an article about Pavel Durov and how he obtained Saint Kitts and Nevis citizenship. For me, this was relevant since I travel a lot, live in different places, and have long considered myself a citizen of the world.
Therefore, I wanted to get a second passport for global mobility, and to have the freedom of movement any time I travel abroad. I contacted Alexander, who guided me through all the options and explained the advantages and pitfalls to be aware of. My primary intention was to obtain a fast passport for global mobility, so the Vanuatu Program best fitted my requirements. The application process was smooth, and I wasn’t keen to wait for several months for a new passport. What most impressed me was that every timeline Alexander gave me was spot on. Thanks to all of the Astons team for your help, and your excellent work. I could see from day one how hard you all work, with a degree of efficiency, creativity and patience.
My experience with Astons has been incredible. After vetting a number of international & Turkish companies for my Turkish citizenship application, I’m so glad I went with Astons. Both Susanna & Alev were outstanding throughout the process & made all the difference.
The entire process was well-defined & thoroughly explained to me, amazing real-estate properties (with great ROI prospects) were carefully vetted for me to choose from, the in-person visit to Turkey was efficient, and the communication from Astons team was excellent throughout. What a great team of experienced professionals to deal with! Thanks for making the entire experience predictable & hassle-free. :pray:
My daughter is 16 years old, and so I needed to plan for her university education. She has a more European mindset, and I have always hoped she would be able to study in the UK, as well as being keen to live in and explore Europe myself.
My career is reasonably successful, so I wanted to diversify my life, travel more often and work remotely. Some friends recommended Astons as having helped them obtain Saint Kitts and Nevis citizenship, so I went ahead, and we discussed various options. The ideal solution was to apply for Cyprus citizenship, being a European Union country and the investment being in reliable real estate. We also had the bonus that my daughter would receive Cypriot citizenship within one year – and therefore be able to choose a university in the UK or Europe. The processing was seamless, and I felt surrounded by great care and attention. Astons’ experts prepared an exclusive property portfolio for me and arranged a virtual tour. They also carried out the essential checks to ensure the safety of my purchase. Now, with a Cyprus passport, I can live wherever I wish, and my daughter can study in the UK. Astons also helped us with her relocation to London and university selection for which I am especially grateful!
