Procedures & Timeline 

The Malta Permanent Residence Programme has reasonable and simple application requirements and processes. The Residency Malta Agency, a government body in charge of applications, is in charge of receiving the application.


Successful applicants will be required to finish the qualifying investments, after passing rigorous due diligence tests in order to receiving a residency permit. The Residency Malta Agency will provide the chosen individuals with a Maltese resident certificate, which functions as a permit.
