HomeMalta Permanent Residence Programme - Lincoln Global Partners

Through property acquisition, applicants are required to purchase a residential property in Malta. If the property is located in the south of Malta or Gozo the minimum investment amount is €300,000. Whereas in the rest of the country the minimum investment amount is €350,000. On top of the property purchase, there is an application fee of €68,000 plus a donation of €2,000 to an approved NGO in Malta.

The Residency Malta Agency ensures qualified and reputable candidates with a clean criminal record and are of no threat to national security. The programme is open to third country nationals, non EU, non EEA and non Swiss. Candidates from sanctioned countries will not be considered. Applicants may not pursue the program as a means to gain any advantages under other applicable regulations and schemes, and they should have stable and regular financial resources from a legal source. The ability to demonstrate they can sufficiently maintain themselves and their dependents requires they possess capital assets of €500,000 with at least €150,000 being financial resources.

It depends on your circumstances and goals. Qualified applicants can choose to lease property as opposed to purchasing property. If the rental property is location in the south of Malta or Gozo the lease must be €10,000 per year. While properties anywhere else in Malta require a minimum lease amount of €12,000 per year. Beyond your yearly lease amount, you will need to pay a €98,000 application fee to the Maltese government, donate €2,000 to an approved NGO in Malta and more. After you’ve rented a property, you are still eligible to purchase a property later, making this a strategic option for anyone testing the real estate market or eyeing their dream home for some time before purchase.
