Malta

Yes. Your spouse or partner in a duly registered relationship, financially dependent children under 29, and financially dependent parents or grandparents of you or your spouse can all be included. Additional government contributions apply per family member. Our advisors will confirm the exact costs for your family structure.

Yes, Malta fully permits dual or multiple citizenship. You are not required to renounce your existing nationality when you obtain Maltese citizenship. You should verify whether your current country permits dual nationality — we can advise on the specific rules for your nationality.

No. Once naturalised, there is no ongoing residency requirement for Maltese citizens. However, you must maintain qualifying property (by purchase or lease) for a minimum of 5 years from the date of the citizenship certificate.

For a single applicant via the 12-month fast-track route, the total cost is approximately €900,000 to €1,100,000, including the €600,000 contribution, property costs, charitable donation, and government administration fees. Costs increase for family members. Our advisors will provide a precise cost estimate during your consultation.

Citizen Sure maintains a 98% success rate across all programmes, including Malta. Our rigorous pre-application due diligence — which identifies and resolves any potential issues before formal submission — is the primary reason for this rate. We never submit an application we are not confident will succeed.

Malta provides full citizenship and a Maltese passport immediately upon approval, while Portugal's Golden Visa grants residency first, with citizenship eligibility after 5 years. Malta requires a significantly higher investment but delivers EU citizenship — the strongest status — directly. The right choice depends on your specific goals, budget, and timeline.
