On 21 July 2025, Malta officially terminated its MEIN (citizenship-by-investment) programme in line with evolving EU regulations. A new citizenship-by-merit framework is being introduced, recognising meaningful contributions to Maltese society. Meanwhile, the Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) remains fully active and continues to offer an attractive route for long-term residency in Europe, now enhanced by updated regulations.
Malta and its sister island Gozo sit nestled in the Mediterranean. Forming part of an archipelago, the island spans 316sq km and is renowned for its 300 days of sun, rich history and natural beauty. More than that, this gem of the Mediterranean is fast becoming known as an investment powerhouse. Due to the favourable economic climate and exceptional quality of life, the island continues to attract individuals and families seeking safety, opportunity, and access to Europe.
Malta offers a range of exclusive programmes that open the door to visa-free travel to over 180 destinations, access to world-class healthcare, and the peace of mind that comes with living in one of the safest countries in the world. In addition to lifestyle benefits, these pathways offer a strategic gateway into the European business market, providing access to one of the continent’s most stable and fast-growing economies.
