Malta permanent residency:

a European base for generational security

Nestled in the Mediterranean, Malta offers more than residency; it provides long-term European security, business flexibility, and an attractive tax environment. As an EU and Schengen member, Malta's permanent residency program (MPRP) delivers one of the most efficient and cost-effective pathways to secure European access for you and your family.

Designed for high-net-worth individuals seeking a stable, business-friendly jurisdiction, Malta's residency program represents a low-risk, high-benefit solution with no minimum stay requirements and a straightforward path to long-term security.

Investment options: tailored residency solutions

Recent reforms have streamlined the program structure, creating unified contribution requirements and eliminating previous cost disparities. To qualify, you must meet one of two structured pathways, ensuring full residency rights in Malta with minimal bureaucracy.

Immediate access advantage: Upon application submission and initial due diligence, applicants receive a renewable one-year temporary residence card, enabling immediate relocation while full approval processes.

This streamlined structure makes the MPRP one of the most accessible EU residency programs for those seeking European access without unnecessary complexity.
