The Republic of Malta consists of an archipelago that is 80km south of Italy and in the centre of the Mediterranean sea. The smallest capital in Europe, Valletta, crowns a country with a culturally diverse population of 450,000. The two official languages, English and Maltese, create an atmosphere befitting of one of the oldest centres for culture in Europe. The island nation comprises three islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino, with a total population of over 400,000 inhabitants occupying an area of 316 km2.
By virtue of Legal Notice 288 of 2015 the Government of the Republic of Malta introduced the Malta Residence and Visa Programme (MRVP), whereby Third Country Nationals and their dependents who are willing to bring investment to Malta, are granted Maltese residency and may reside, settle and stay in Malta indefinitely, as well as travel within the Schengen area without the need of applying for a visa.
Third-country nationals means that Maltese, EEA and Swiss nationals are excluded and cannot apply.
Enjoy the comfort of traveling to any country within the Schengen Area without a visa and without lengthy custom checks. You can enter these countries directly without previously visiting Malta.
Furthermore, you will be entitled to reside within any of the Schengen countries for up to three months within every six-month period and may enter multiple times.
Your spouse, parents, minor children and unmarried dependent adult children under the age of 27 are entitled to obtain the Maltese residency along with you. If you love culture, history, and great weather, you will love living in Malta.
Living in Malta, you will have access to a top-ranked healthcare system and a large English-speaking, international expat community.
