CITIZENSHIP AND RESIDENCY BY INVESTMENT BLOG

Happy Thanksgiving! Malta Citizenship by Merit Update.

Malta holiday period is approaching; consider securing your biometrics slot.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Zenturo! As the holiday season approaches—and with many government offices operating on reduced schedules—we want to share a quick update and practical next steps to keep you ahead.  

A quick CBM update:

• Announcement timing: We still anticipate the official Citizenship by Merit program announcement before year-end.

• Stage 0 Consultations: These remain ongoing. During this stage, we complete AML/KYC checks, review your background and intended contribution (such as a charitable initiative, new business, or cultural/sustainability project), and prepare a concise proposal outline for review with our legal team.

• Stage 1 Residency Applications: Also underway. We prepare and submit your residency application, organize supporting documents, and schedule your biometrics appointment. Stage 1 secures your Malta residency—the on-ramp to citizenship—enables visa-free Schengen travel, and positions you to proceed quickly towards citizenship. Tip: Book biometrics early to lock in preferred dates during the holiday period.

Why should you act now?

• Holiday slowdown: December/January scheduling can tighten as public offices operate on reduced staffing.

• Biometrics availability: It’s wise to request biometrics slots early while multiple options are still available.

If you would like to start Stage 0 or secure a biometrics appointment, simply use our contact form or send an email to service@zenturo.com and we’ll coordinate next steps. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service and look forward to working with you All applications under-go strict due diligence and are regulated by the Maltese government to ensure transparency and integrity.
