Overview of Malta’s Permanent Residency Programme

Malta is a member of both the European Union and the Schengen zone. Permanent Residence Permit holders can therefore move freely across all EU and Schengen zone countries.

The programme is based on a mixed capital investment with a minimum value of €175,000 which must be held for 5 years.

The permit has a validity of 5 years and is renewable, provided a suitable residential property is maintained. The application processing time is 4-6 months after submission.
