Malta MPRP – Cost Effective EU Residency

Malta’s new Permanent Residency Programme (MPRP) has fast become a popular choice with Golden Visa investors since it was remodelled in March 2021. The new programme offers one of the most cost-effective and quickest routes to gain permanent residency in a key EU country. 

This MPRP programme is the ideal solution for an individual or family looking for a second residency visa which will enhance their visa-free access and links to the EU, or simply as a ”Plan B” solution. Likewise, it is a great option for those looking to relocate and specifically live in Malta, gaining access to the country’s fantastic education system, world-class healthcare facilities and enjoy the benefits of a Mediterranean lifestyle. The programme offers Permanent Residency straight away, as opposed to just a temporary residency permit which many of the other EU Golden Visa programmes offer initially.

A Permanent Residency visa in Malta could eventually lead to citizenship, however, the terms for this are extremely stringent and the process could take many years through this route and full-time residency would also be required. If EU Citizenship is your end goal then you may wish to consider a programme with a more flexible and clearer cut path to Citizenship such as Portugal. Alternatively, if you have a larger budget then you could consider the direct Malta Citizenship by Investment programme (MEIN) which requires a minimum investment of €690,000, plus fees.
