What is the Malta Investment Visa?
The Malta Investment visa, better known as The Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) gives non-EU nationals a path to permanent residency in Malta through investment. Below is a detailed overview of the program’s benefits, requirements, costs, and important considerations.
Benefits of the Malta Investment Visa
Permanent Residency:
Approved applicants and their families receive the right to live in Malta indefinitely, with no renewal required.
Schengen Travel Access:
Enjoy visa-free travel across the Schengen Zone for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
Whole-Family Coverage:
Spouses, dependent children, parents, and grandparents can all be included in one application.
Attractive Tax Framework:
Malta offers a remittance-based tax system meaning foreign income is only taxed if brought into Malta. There’s no inheritance, wealth, or property tax, and tax planning opportunities exist for those who become residents but not domiciled in Malta.
Investment Requirements
To qualify, applicants must fulfill a combination of real estate, government contribution, donation, and administrative fees.
Real Estate:
- Buy: Minimum €300,000 property in South Malta or Gozo, or €350,000 elsewhere

Eligibility Requirements
Age Requirement: The main applicant must be at least 18 years old.
Financial Stability: Applicants must demonstrate they have capital assets of at least €500,000, with a minimum of €150,000 in financial assets.
