Maltese Citizenship and Residence

Getting an individual or a family citizenship and residence status is becoming more and more relevant in light of the ongoing international developments and the need for a global footprint.

Malta has become an increasingly popular choice for high net worth and skilled individuals seeking alternative residence and citizenship options. This is because Malta provides various opportunities for talented individuals, as well as a number of statutory schemes and programmes for both EU and non-EU citizens.

This sector has experienced significant growth over the years and as a country, Malta has built up a reputation as one of Europe’s preferred locations for doing business, educational opportunities, and for lifestyle choices.
