Benefits
With Malta citizenship comes full citizenship in Europe which gives you access to all 28 EU countries and Switzerland and visa-free travel to about 160 countries.
To be granted citizenship you must among other obligations either buy a home or lease a residence for a minimum five years. That’s when your formal residency begins. Twelve months after purchasing or leasing a property proving that you have established residency you can apply for citizenship. If you already meet residency requirements, citizenship can be granted within six months.
As a resident you get to enjoy an excellent education and health care system and a safe social environment.
Investment
The financial demands are substantial. You and your family must make a non-refundable contribution to the National Development and Social Fund: EUR 650,000 (US$725,000) for the main investor, EUR 25,000 (US$28,000) for your spouse and minor aged children, EUR 50,000 (US$56,000) for unmarried children aged 18 to 26 as well as for other dependents such as parents.
Then you must either purchase a home valued at a minimum EUR 350,000 (US$390,000) or choose the cheaper option of leasing a property that rents for at least EUR 16,000 (US$18,000) per year.
You must also make a EUR 150,000 (US$167,000) investment in government approved financial vehicles for a mandatory five-year.
Financial Requirements
You will need to meet the highest standards of due diligence and a detailed background check while showing impeccable credentials and standing.. That means proving beyond any doubt that you are a deserving and reputable investor. All income sources of income and funds must include supporting documents and evidence.
Due diligence fees range from EUR 7,500 for the main applicant, EUR 5,000 for your spouse and adult dependents and EUR 3,000 for children aged 13-17. Other fees and scheduled deposits are also required.
You are only required to pay taxes on income earned in the country. There are no municipal, estate, inheritance or wealth taxes.
Commitment
You are not required to live in Malta the full 12 months to qualify for residency. A visit to Malta will suffice after purchasing or leasing a property and you must visit to undertake the Oath of Allegiance.
You will need a comprehensive international health insurance policy to cover medical expenses of at least EUR 50,000 per family members.
Dual citizenship is accepted and there are no language requirements. All children born from those bearing Maltese citizenship become full European citizens.
But the program is firmly capped at 1,800 participants and will likely meet its quota by year’s end. So you need to act fast if you don’t want to miss this opportunity.
