Malta
Individuals and their families who make monetary contributions to Malta's development can gain citizenship through a certificate of naturalization under the Malta Citizenship. This can occur after a 36-month period of residence, or in some cases, after just 12 months. Every application undergoes a rigorous due diligence procedure, including extensive background checks.
How It Works
Application Submission
01
Submit prescribed forms with required fees and documents. The Community Malta Agency conducts initial due diligence checks.
If initial checks pass, apply for a residence permit. After approval, maintain residency for 36 months (or 12 months by exception).

Applications must be made on prescribed forms with appropriate fees and specific documents. Detailed due diligence checks are conducted. Applications with false information or omissions will be declined.
If Tier 1 due diligence checks by the Community Malta Agency are passed, a residence permit application is submitted. After obtaining residence, an eligibility application is submitted. Further due diligence checks (Tiers 2, 3, and 4) are conducted by the agency and presented to the relevant Maltese minister, who decides on the applicant's eligibility for citizenship.
If successful, a citizenship application is submitted to the Community Malta Agency after 36 months of residence (or 12 months by exception). The minister then decides if the applicant can be granted Maltese citizenship. Successful applicants must fulfill exceptional investment, donation, and property requirements. Finally, they are invited to take the oath of allegiance in Malta and receive a Maltese certificate of naturalization.
