BUDGET

The Malta program requires three financial conditions: First, participants must contribute to the Malta National Development and Social Fund. Second, they must invest in real estate, either through rental or purchase. Finally, a financial contribution is also required.
  • CONTRIBUTION TO THE MALTA NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL FUND

    Non-refundable financial contribution to the Malta National Development and Social Fund requires the following investments:

    Investment for the Malta National Development and Social Fund:

    • After 3 years of residency: EUR 600,000
    • After 1 year of residency: EUR 750,000

    Additional contributions for family members:

    • Spouse and children: EUR 50,000 each
    • Dependent parents: EUR 50,000 each
  • REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT (RENTAL OR PURCHASE)

    Once the applicant has determined the suitable non-refundable investment for their needs, they must make an additional investment in real estate. There are two options for this investment: purchase a property valued at EUR 700,000 or sign a rental contract with a minimum price of EUR 16,000 per year for a duration of 5 years.

    Purchase Real Estate: EUR 700,000
    (or)
    Sign a rental contract per year (minimum): EUR 16,000 (for 5 years)

  • FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION

    In addition to the non-refundable investment for the national fund and the real estate investment, the investor must also make a minimum financial contribution of EUR 10,000 for sports, cultural, scientific, charitable activities, wildlife conservation, or non-governmental art organizations.

    Financial Contribution: EUR 10,000

    Residency Requirement: The law also stipulates a residency obligation, requiring proof of an official connection to Malta. Candidates must commit to being present in Malta before being granted citizenship.

  • DETAILED DUE DILIGENCE AND BACKGROUND CHECK.

    The background check is mandatory and must be submitted directly to the government, which will designate the evaluating agency. To carry out this task, agencies must utilize international resources such as Interpol, World-Check, and other government agencies. The fees will be payable upon submitting your application, specifically:

    • Primary applicant: EUR 15,000
    • Spouse: EUR 10,000
    • Dependent children under 28 years and parents over 55: EUR 10,000
