Important Legal Disclaimer

Malta's Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) grants residency, not citizenship. Malta revised its MPRP fee structure in July 2025; published figures vary by source during the transition. The Property Rental Program's ~EUR 150,000 figure is an estimated overall package cost — covering qualifying property rental, applicable government contributions, administrative charges, legal fees, and processing costs — and must never be presented as a property purchase price or direct property-investment amount. The Property Investment Program involves a genuine property purchase (from EUR 375,000) plus applicable government contributions, administrative charges, due-diligence charges, legal and professional fees, and other processing costs. The program may include the main applicant and qualifying family members, subject to eligibility and government approval. Confirm current thresholds and the full fee breakdown before presenting to a client.

Figures should be independently verified with licensed counsel before any investment or application decision. Approval is never guaranteed.
