Malta’s Residency & Visa Program (MRVP)

This program is particularly attractive because investors and their families are vetted and preapproved by the government before their capital is deployed and committed. In addition, Malta processes the application for permanent residency in a short four-month period and allows investors to include their spouse, children under the age of 26, parents and grandparents on both sides of the family on the application.

Furthermore, the investor is only required to maintain the required investments for five years, after which point they may exit at any time. With most other residency programs in the EU, the investor is required to hold the investment indefinitely in order to maintain the status of the residency, or until a permanent residency is obtained.

Permanent residents are not required to maintain a physical presence on the island or to speak Maltese and they can travel visa-free throughout the Schengen area. Moreover, they are afforded the opportunity to participate in a buoyant real estate market that is currently experiencing stable economic fundamentals.

Participating in the MRVP entails contributing €30,000 to the Maltese government, acquiring government bonds for at least €250,000 and entering into a real estate transaction.
