Malta — FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I still buy Maltese citizenship?
No. The citizenship-by-investment programme was ruled unlawful by the EU Court of Justice on 29 April 2025 and repealed on 24 July 2025. A discretionary merit-based naturalisation remains, but it has no fixed investment amount and is not an investment programme.
What does the MPRP actually give me?
Permanent residence in Malta with Schengen access for 90 days in any 180, and no minimum-stay requirement. It is residence, not citizenship, and does not lead to a passport through any investment threshold.
