Malta offers one of the EU’s most flexible residency programs. Here’s what investors should know.
The Malta Permanent Residency Program (MPRP) requires a government contribution of €68,000–€98,000 plus real estate leasing or purchase. Applicants must also contribute to a local NGO. The program grants permanent residency rights in Malta and visa-free travel within the Schengen Area. While not citizenship, residency can be a stepping stone for long-term EU settlement.
