Malta’s Citizenship by Investment program is a direct investment scheme that grants naturalization to individuals who make a significant contribution to the country’s economy. This program offers a Maltese passport after one or three years of residency, depending on the level of investment. The program is open to most non-EU nationals, with exceptions for individuals from sanctioned countries.

The Citizenship by Naturalization for Exceptional Services program allows applicants and their families to live in Malta under residence visas while they wait for their Maltese passports to be approved and issued.

To qualify for the program, applicants are required to make a substantial investment in the country. This includes a contribution to Malta’s national development fund and the purchase or lease of property in Malta.
