Residency by Investment

Malta Residency By Investment Program

Malta is a premier destination for individuals and families seeking second residency, offering a blend of lifestyle, business, and investment advantages. As a member of the European Union, Schengen Area, and British Commonwealth, Malta provides access to major global markets and visa-free travel across Europe.

The country’s strong economic ratings, political stability, and English-speaking environment create a secure and welcoming setting for investors. Additionally, Malta’s high-quality healthcare and education systems, excellent business opportunities, and world-renowned Mediterranean climate make it an exceptional choice for both personal and professional growth.

In January 2021, the Malta Residency and Visa Agency announced the launch of a new residency program called the Malta Permanent Residence Program (MPRP). Notably, this program replaced the Malta Residency and Visa Program (MRVP), which closed at the end of March 2021.
