Everything You Need to Know

Yes, subject to statutory naturalisation conditions. While the MPRP provides immediate, lifetime permanent residency and Schengen mobility with zero minimum stay required to maintain status, it gives cardholders the legal right to reside in Malta and qualify for Maltese citizenship by naturalisation under Article 10(1) of the Maltese Citizenship Act (Cap. 188). Key conditions include: 5 cumulative years of actual physical residence in Malta over a 7-year period (including 12 continuous months preceding application), proficiency in English or Maltese, good character with two citizen sponsors, and genuine social/economic integration. For investors seeking direct citizenship within 12–36 months without the multi-year residence requirement, Malta offers the separate Direct Investment (MEIN) route.

No. There is zero physical stay requirement. You are not required to live in or spend any minimum number of days per year in Malta to maintain your permanent residency status.

Yes. The MPRP is one of the most generous family programs globally. You can include your spouse, children of any age (provided they are unmarried and financially dependent), and both sets of parents and grandparents.

The lease option is the lowest capital outlay route, requiring unified statutory government contributions and administrative fees totaling 99,000€.
