ABOUT MALTA

Malta has been a member of the European Union (EU) since 2004 and is a stable, neutral and highly respected country, consisting of an archipelago, 80 km south of Italy 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 of Malta are English and Maltese, create an atmosphere befitting of one of the oldest centres for culture in Europe. Introduced in 2014, the Maltese citizenship-by-investment programme has allowed for high-net-worth individuals to seek EU membership through a stable and highly respected process. With the potential for future citizenship within a subtropical Mediterranean climate, this is one of the most exclusive and attractive residency based programmes. The applicant must have a completely clean personal background and no criminal record.
