Malta Citizenship by Investment

Malta’s Granting of Citizenship for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment Regulations (S.L. 188.05) (the Regulations) allow for the granting of citizenship by a certificate of naturalization to foreign individuals and their families who contribute to the country’s economic development.

This is possible following a 36-month (or, by exception, 12-month) residence period. Each application is subject to a stringent due diligence process, including thorough background checks. Community Malta Agency is the competent Maltese Government Agency responsible for administering the Regulations. GoldPassports & Partners (license number AKM-HENL-22) is an official agent for this regulated citizenship process.
