Eligibility & Fees

Q1. How do I get residency by investment in Malta?

In January 2021, the Malta Residency and Visa Agency announced the launch of a new residency program called the Malta Permanent Residency Programme (MPRP). This program replaced the Malta Residency and Visa Programme (MRVP), which closed at the end of March 2021.

Like its predecessor, the MPRP offers foreign nationals an opportunity to get a second residency in Malta. All it requires is for an accredited (agent with Maltese authorities) to submit all applications for it.

Q2. How much do I have to invest in Malta to become a resident?

The requirements include a minimum real estate investment of €700,000 or annual rent for €16,000. Applicants need to hold such investments for a minimum of five years.
