Citizenship by Investment Property Acquisition

Note (2026): Malta’s former Citizenship by Investment program has been replaced by the Citizenship by Merit framework.

January 2019: Can you help me find local real estate?

Answer: In one word, the answer is “yes”. Many residency / citizenship by investment programs require the purchase (or lease) of local real estate. We are associated with local real estate agencies and developers in case you need any assistance.

Working closely with a local agency ensures that your real estate investment, be it a purchase or a lease, fulfills the real estate investment requirement of your selected immigration by investment program.

Further, our associates’ local presence and long-standing professional relationships guarantee to our clients a smooth, comprehensive service that includes identifying suitable properties, providing transport for property viewings, drafting/reviewing legal contracts, and liaising with local notaries and architects as needed.

Lastly, when you decide on a property but cannot travel here on short notice we can arrange for a Power of Attorney to appear on your behalf and execute the signatures, thus eliminating the need for your presence.

Program Interest

Permanent Residency: Non‑EU nationals who obtain permanent residence in Malta under the MPRP program are granted the right to live, work, study, or retire in Malta. The program requires a minimum investment from €99,000, in addition to either purchasing or renting property, along with applicable professional and legal fees.

Citizenship: Malta citizenship under the Malta Citizenship by Merit framework grants the right to live, work, study, or retire in Malta, along with access to public healthcare and education. It also provides an EU passport, allowing holders to live and work in any EU member state, not just Malta. Eligible applicants typically include individuals with exceptional achievements in science, technology, or innovation; those distinguished in culture, the arts, or sports; business leaders and entrepreneurs whose ventures create employment in Malta; and philanthropic or humanitarian figures whose work and contributions demonstrates a broader international impact.
