Malta Permanent Residence Permit
Gateway to Europe
Malta: Europe without Borders
From the ancient Neolithic temples of Mnajdra and Hypogeum to the baroque magnificence of local palazzos, Malta is a world-class destination in which to live, work and relax. In addition to permanent residency in Malta, the Malta Permanent Residence Program offers the possibility of obtaining an EU residence card granting free travel across Europe’s Schengen Area for the entire family in return for a property investment.
Malta, a gateway between North Africa and Europe, allows successful applicants to reside indefinitely in the country. The residency programme is open to up to four generations of the same family per application. Applicants have the right to redeem their qualifying investment after five years and also have access to employment opportunities.
The benefits of acquiring Maltese residence include the right to visa-free travel to any of the 27 EU states. The permit is renewable indefinitely, providing a lifetime residence solution to applicants.
