Common Questions
Uncertain about Residency by investment? We've got you Covered.
If you are a non-EU, non-EEA, and non-Swiss national, you are eligible to apply for the Malta Permanent Residence Programme (Malta Golden Visa). However, please note that the list of sanctioned countries may be updated periodically by the Agency at its discretion.
The Malta Golden Visa allows you to include:
- Spouse: Your spouse or partner.
- Children: Children under 18, as well as unmarried, non-economically active children over 18.
- Parents and Grandparents: Dependent parents and grandparents can be added for an additional fee of €7,500 per person.
You must make a €2,000 contribution to a local NGO registered with the Commissioner for Voluntary Organisations. This includes organizations involved in philanthropy, culture, sports, science, animal welfare, or the arts.
At the application stage, you are not required to own or lease a property. However, you must submit the relevant property documentation within eight months from the issuance of the Letter of Approval in Principle. If you have already purchased or leased a property before applying, it may still be accepted as long as it meets the program requirements.
