Education for children

Schools and higher education are cheaper for Maltese citizens. In addition, Maltese citizens don’t need to get student residence permits studying in any EU country.

International business

Maltese citizens can open a company in any EU country. This opportunity helps to expand a business to the international market and operate more effectively.

Terms of investment through the purchase of real estate

Investors fulfil three investment conditions: contribute to the National Development and Social Fund (NDSF), donate to a non-governmental organisation, and buy or rent a residential real estate. All three conditions are mandatory.

A contribution sum defines when the investor can apply for citizenship. If the contribution amounts to €600,000, the residence permit must be kept for 3 years. If an investor contributes €750,000, the residence period cuts to 1 year.
