1. Malta
Permanent Residence Programme Summary
Malta is a Mediterranean island off the coast of Italy with
a significant historical and cultural legacy spanning over
7,000 years. The country has been a member of the EU
since 2004 and the Schengen Area since 2007. Malta enjoys
both political and economic stability.
An archipelago with many high-level educational
institutions, and with 300 days of annual sunshine, Malta is
an attractive country for residence.
The Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP)
offers many advantages to individuals and families seeking
to operate throughout the European Schengen Area.
The Maltese Government has created a business-friendly
environment that is thriving and contributing to making
the economy one of Europe’s fastest growing.
Maltese authorities have made it straightforward to
establish a company in Malta with favourable legislation
and competitive tax systems amongst the most beneficial
in Europe.
In addition to Maltese, English is a co-official language in
Malta and is commonly used. English translations are readily
available for government documents, road signs, restaurant
menus, and other essential materials.
Residency-by-Investment Programme
You must be at least 18 years of age to qualify for the MPRP.
Access to at least EUR 500,000 in capital assets is essential,
of which, EUR 150,000 must be available as liquid assets.
Applications can include all minor children up to the age
of 18. You may also include unmarried dependant adult
children, along with dependant parents or grandparents.
All dependants over the age of 18 require an affidavit of
support for inclusion within the application.
You and your dependants must have a clean personal
background with no criminal record. All of you must be in
good health and have a suitable health insurance covering
your stay in Malta.
Requirements
You can add your spouse or partner as a dependant. Like you,
they must be over 18 years of age, not be an EU citizen, and
not have a criminal record. You can also include dependant
children of any age, dependant parents or grandparents.
Qualifying Dependants
Investment
• Option 1: Contribute EUR 68,000 to the Government
and purchase a property with a minimum value of
EUR 300,000 in the South of Malta and Gozo or
EUR 350,000 in any other area of the country
• Option 2: Contribute EUR 98,000 to the Government and
rent a residential property in Malta for a minimum annual
lease of EUR 10,000 in the South of Malta and Gozo or
EUR 12,000 elsewhere in the country
You can add parents or grandparents to both options for an
additional contribution of EUR 7,500 each.
Regardless of whether you choose to purchase or lease
a property, it must be held for a minimum of five years.
Additionally, a mandatory donation of EUR 2,000 to a charity
of the applicant’s choice is also required.
We submit each application to Residency Malta Agency, the
government agency responsible for overseeing the MPRP.
Following due diligence checks, successful applicants fulfill
the required investments and receive a Maltese Residence
Certificate and residency card. This is valid for five years and
renewable every five years thereafter.
Process Overview
2. • Enjoy visa-free travel in the 27 European Schengen Area

• Include dependants such as spouse, children under 18,
unmarried and non-economically active adult children

financially dependant on the main applicant
• Make a low capital outlay compared to other EU residency

Summary of Key Advantages
If you are considered a resident in Malta but not domiciled,
you only pay tax on income earned within or remitted to
Malta. Make Malta your primary place of residence and you
will be taxed on your worldwide income with a personal tax
rate up to 35%. The country does not levy estate or gift taxes.
It does collect a capital gains tax on a variety of assets and
the standard VAT in Malta is set at 18%. While the corporate

companies.
