FAQ
Common Questions
The Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) is a government-administered programme that allows non-EU, non-EEA, and non-Swiss nationals to obtain permanent residence status in Malta through a qualifying investment. It is designed for individuals and families who want a stable, long-term legal base in an EU member state without the obligation of daily residency or the complexity of citizenship by investment.
Standard Malta residency permits (such as the long-term permit, remote work visa, or family reunification) are typically issued for one to five years and require renewal. They are based on personal circumstances such as employment, income, or family ties. MPRP is an investment-based programme that grants permanent status from the outset, with no annual renewal and no minimum stay requirement. It is a different category of programme with different eligibility criteria.
Applicants must either purchase or lease qualifying property in Malta. For purchase, the minimum value is €375,000 for property in the South of Malta or Gozo, or €320,000 elsewhere. For lease, the minimum annual rent is €14,000 in the South or Gozo, or €12,000 elsewhere. The qualifying property must be held for a minimum of five years from the date of approval. A non-qualifying property purchased separately does not satisfy this requirement.
Yes. The following family members may be included: your spouse or legally recognised partner, dependent children (including adult children up to the age of 26 who are in full-time education or economically dependent), and dependent parents or grandparents of either spouse. Each adult family member is subject to due diligence. We confirm eligibility for each intended dependant before the application is prepared.
Due diligence is a full background investigation conducted by the Maltese authorities on the main applicant and all adult dependants. It covers criminal history, source of wealth, business interests, and general character. A criminal record or adverse finding in any jurisdiction may result in rejection. We review your profile in advance and advise on any areas that may require explanation or additional documentation before submission.
No. Unlike some residency permits and the citizenship programme, MPRP does not impose a minimum number of days you must spend in Malta each year. However, the qualifying property must be maintained in accordance with the programme rules for the five-year holding period. We track these ongoing obligations for our clients to ensure compliance.
