Obtain Maltese Citizenship Via The Malta Citizenship For Exceptional Services By Investment Protocol In 2024 With Malta’s CBI experts…

Malta stands out as the premier European destination for non-EEA citizens seeking an alternative citizenship by investment.

It’s important to clarify from the start that Malta doesn’t operate a traditional Citizenship By Investment scheme. Rather, it provides a pathway to citizenship through Naturalisation for Exceptional Services via Direct Investment.

Uniquely, the program allows applicants to choose between either renting or buying a property, in addition to making a number of prescribed financial contributions.

Applicants can also opt for either a 12-month residency period or a 36-month residency period before naturalization, based on the value of their contribution to Malta’s National Development and Social Fund.

(More on both these topics below.)

Benefits Of Malta’s Citizenship protocol
(AKA Malta MEIN)

THE WORLD’S
FLAGSHIP PLAN B

For the truly discerning, only the best CBI programs will do. Malta’s citizenship offering is the obvious choice for UHNWIs from around the world.

LIVE, WORK, STUDY OR RETIRE ACROSS THE EU

You and your dependent family members enjoy EU visa-free travel, and the right to reside in any of the 27 EU countries.

VISA-FREE TRAVEL
TO 185+ COUNTRIES

Maltese citizens can avail of all EU benefits. In addition, you and your family can access Canada, the USA, most of Africa, the Middle East, Asia, as well as the Americas visa-free.

GENEROUS FAMILY ELIGIBILITY
(THREE GENERATIONS)

Your spouse, children under the age of 29, as well as all parents aged 55+ years can be included in your Maltese citizenship by investment application.

NO MINIMUM IN-COUNTRY PRESENCE REQUIREMENT

You only need to visit Malta once in every 5 years to order to renew your residency permit(s), and every 10 years to renew your passport(s).

ENGLISH SPEAKING ENVIRONMENT

Unlike in the majority of other EU Golden Visa countries, English is widely spoken throughout Malta, ensuring a smooth entry experience into life in the country.

OWN THE RELAXED
MEDITERRANEAN LIFESTYLE

Boasting personal safety, cultural diversity and stunning natural landscapes, combined with year-round sunshine and a thriving expat community, Malta is an excellent Plan B destination.

DUAL CITIZENSHIP STATUS RECOGNIZED

Unlike in Austria, which also offers a citizenship by investment program, dual citizenship status  is recognized under Maltese immigration law. (I.e. you get to keep your other passports.)

Unlike the Caribbean CBI countries Malta offers a highly convenient geographic location. Flight connectivity is excellent, with most of Europe’s major cities reachable in three hours or less.
