CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT MALTA投资入籍马耳他

Malta’s Citizenship by Investment route, now known as the Maltese Citizenship by Naturalisation for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment, is aimed at ultra-high net worth individuals. Individual investors must make a minimum contribution of €600,000 to the national development fund set up by the government and prove 36 months of residency. Alternatively, there is an expedited route which requires a contribution of €750,000 and evidence of 12 months residency. Investors must also contribute €50,000 per each additional dependent included in their application. In addition to the contribution, investors must also invest a further €700,000 into residential real estate or enter into a rental agreement at a minimum value of €16,000 p.a. which must be maintained for five years. A compulsory donation of €10,000 to a registered philanthropic, cultural, sport, scientific, animal welfare, or artistic non-governmental approved organisation or society is also required.

The benefits after one to three of years residency are citizenship and a Maltese passport. This in turn grants European citizenship with the ability to live, work and study anywhere in the EU.

The Malta Citizenship by Investment Programme offers considerable benefits for those who spend a period of residency in Malta to acquire naturalisation. The Maltese passport is one of the strongest in the world for visa-free travel and Maltese Citizenship means not only residency in Malta but citizenship within Europe allowing the holder of Maltese citizenship and their family to live and work anywhere within the European Union.

The combination of a second passport with your existing passport is often overlooked when deciding on a citizenship by investment programme. Your own passport will already have its own visa-free travel list. Anything you add with a second passport should complement those destinations. “Doubling up” with the same visa-free destinations offers no real benefit. The GSI GROUP Passport Investment Report will analyse your personal combination and which passport fits best. It not only considers the number of destinations, but those which suit your travel profile needs and your existing passport. Perhaps GDP is relevant to you as you undertake a lot of business travel or maybe Travel Popularity is important for leisure and vacations?

Malta’s Citizenship by Investment route, now known as the Maltese Citizenship by Naturalisation for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment, is aimed at ultra-high net worth individuals. Investors must make a minimum contribution of €600,000 to the national development fund, plus a compulsory donation of €10,000 to a registered non-governmental organisation, plus lease a property for a minimum value of €16,000 p.a for five years. Additional legal fees and costs also apply. 

The Maltese Permanent Residency Programme (MPRP) grants permanent residency rights to international investors who make a government contribution of €98,000, plus a mandatory charitable donation of €2,000 to a Maltese registered NGO, plus application fees. Asides from the initial contributions, applicants will also need to enter a property rental agreement for a minimum of €10,000 p.a. for five years. The programme offers a stable, low-risk investment route to gaining a residency visa in an EU Schengen country. There is also no minimum stay requirement for residency.
