The Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) is an exceptional residency-by-investment scheme allowing beneficiaries to settle, stay, and reside permanently in Malta. Designed for non-EU, non-EEA, and non-Swiss nationals, this programme offers the opportunity to establish a permanent base in Malta while enjoying visa-free travel across the Schengen Zone.
Key benefits include permanent residency, the ability to invest in Malta’s property market, and the inclusion of up to four generations in one application. With an efficient 4-6 month processing time, the MPRP is particularly appealing to families and individuals seeking stability, flexibility, and access to the EU without requiring annual residence in Malta.

Family applications are allowed by the Malta Permanent Residence Programme. The programme accommodates family inclusivity, allowing the addition of:
Applicants must submit their application through a Licensed Agent and are required to pay an administrative fee of €50,000 to the Maltese government. An additional fee of €10,000 is charged for each dependant, regardless of their relationship to the applicant (spouses, children, parents, or grandparents).
Malta’s extensive Double Taxation Relief (DTR) network spans over 70 countries, ensuring that residents are not taxed twice on income such as pensions, dividends, or employment. Where no treaties exist, Malta provides Unilateral Relief to offset foreign taxes paid.
Additionally, Malta has no inheritance tax, though certain duties apply to local property transfers and shares.
