Malta sits at the heart of the Mediterranean as a full member of the European Union. With a low crime rate, a high quality of life, English as an official language, and a strong legal system, it has become a magnet for individuals and investor families looking for a second European base.

As of 2025, the Malta investment-based residency programmes offer Schengen free movement, family-inclusive applications, and meaningful tax advantages. Here’s what currently applies for temporary residence:

  • Government bond investment of €250,000, held for a minimum of five years.
  • Real estate commitment — annual rental of at least €10,000 or the purchase of property valued at €270,000 or more.
  • International health insurance covering all family applicants.
  • One-off government contribution of €30,000.
  • Declaration of assets of at least €500,000 or an annual income of €100,000+.

Through A Plus Solutions Ltd.’s Malta-based team, the full programme typically completes in two to three months. Once approved, applicants receive a Temporary Residence Certificate that allows free movement across the Schengen area for up to six months per year.

What makes this route especially attractive is that there’s no requirement to physically reside in Malta. Families who want to keep their primary life — work, schools, business — in their home country can still hold valid European residence rights. It’s one of the cleanest paths into Europe currently available, and we structure the entire process so nothing surprises you along the way.
