Considered one of the most attractive touristic destinations, Malta attracts many international investors and high-net-worth individuals. Reasons for choosing Malta are many, but among the most considered ones are pleasant climate, friendly people, quality lifestyle, low crime rate, and significant investment and real-estate opportunities. Usually, many investors choose to invest in coastal residences in Malta to create a structure for their second home base. Excellent airline links and connections with central global locations make Malta the desired destination.
The Maltese Government has been working strategically toward attracting quality foreign direct investors and internationals in times of rapid destinations development. Today, Malta ensures that quality migrants establish their second home base under the best conditions through the Maltese Citizenship by Investment Program.
Malta’s Granting of Citizenship for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment Regulations (S.L. 188.05) regulates granting citizenship by a naturalization certificate to foreign individuals and their families who contribute to the country’s economic development.
The Malta citizenship by investment application process is highly efficient. The Government of Malta is committed to the highest standard of due diligence, ensuring only persons of impeccable standing and reputation will be admitted.
To obtain citizenship through direct investment into Malta, the applicant must prove that they have a genuine link to the country.
Successful applications grant citizenship by naturalization to the Investor and his dependents.
