The 2025 updated Malta Permanent Residence Programme (“MPRP” / “the Programme”) is a Maltese residency-by-investment programme requiring investments in qualifying property and government contributions. The Programme offers significant value to individuals and their family wishing to acquire a Maltese residency permit – and is arguably better value to applicants than the previous version of the rules.
Key Benefits
Registered dependants include:
The beneficiary’s spouse;
Children (including adopted children) of the beneficiary or the beneficiary’s spouse, even if over 18 years of age, provided that they are unmarried and principally dependant on the beneficiary; and
A parent or grandparent of the beneficiary or the beneficiary’s spouse who are principally dependant on the main applicant.
Who is eligible to apply?
All eligibility criteria must be satisfied in order for an applicant to be approved. Applications can only be submitted through accredited agents.
Timeframe
Applicants shall be entitled to apply for a temporary residence permit valid for one year, for themselves and their dependents (if any) at the start of the application process (within a month or so from kick off);
Submission of application and supporting documentation within 6 months from application date;
Permanent Residence certificate issued upon approval in Principle and full compliance with Programme obligations (roughly within 3 months or so).
Any questions issued by the Agency in relation to submissions will stall the above timeline, which will only be re-activated on receipt of valid replies.

Key information to keep in mind
- The Maltese Authorities take the due diligence process very seriously and full transparency is required;
A qualifying property needs to be kept for a minimum period of 5 years from the date of issuance of the certificate, following which a residential property will be required;
Applicants must prove access to wealth (capital/financial assets) as outlined above;
- The individual must maintain valid health insurance coverage and demonstrate stable and financial resources as outlined above;
The status is monitored annually for the first 5 years and thereafter whenever the Agency deems opportune; and
The status will be withdrawn as soon as the beneficiary infringes any of the Rules set out in the Regulations.
