Malta Permanent Residency or Citizenship for International Investors

Beware of Low-Cost “Application Mills” — What You Risk When Choosing the Cheapest Option

When it comes to applying for Malta permanent residency or citizenship by investment, not all service providers are created equal. We’ve recently seen a rise in what we refer to as “application mills” - companies that process dozens, sometimes hundreds, of applications each year. These firms often boast about their volume, but this high-throughput approach can come at a steep cost to the applicant. 

What could go wrong? Let us count the ways:

The Maltese government does not provide reasons for rejected citizenship applications - and more importantly, does not allow resubmissions. For a high-volume firm, a rejected application is just part of doing business. But for you, it could mean the loss of tens of thousands of euros, with no second chance.

Mistakes are more common than you might think: Unchecked boxes. Incomplete fields. Minor inconsistencies. These seemingly small errors can lead to permanent disqualification. Other common reasons for rejection - such as a criminal record, politically exposed status, insufficient funds, reputational concerns, or inaccurate disclosures - are often identifiable before the application even starts. But only if your advisor takes the time to look.

At our firm, we don’t treat your application like a number in a queue. We treat it like the major life decision that it is. Every application is double- and triple-checked by our team and your assigned immigration attorney before anything is submitted. With us, you receive dedicated, personalized service from start to finish.

We understand that investing in Malta residency or citizenship is a significant commitment. And yes, our payment plans are tailored to accommodate a range of budgets. But if you find yourself considering bargain-basement, low-budget alternatives, please be cautious. The risks of cutting corners in a process this important are simply too high.

If you’re seeking a firm that prioritizes quality over quantity, and treats your application with the care it deserves, we are here to help!

Please don’t hesitate to reach out at your convenience – we appreciate the opportunity to be of service.
